ocfs2_lock() will skip locks on file which has mode set to 02666. This
is a problem in cases where the mode of the file is changed after a
process has obtained a lock on the file.
ocfs2_lock() should skip the check for mandatory locks when unlocking a
file.

This is actually pretty easy since fs/dlm already handles the bulk of the
work. The Ocfs2 userspace cluster stack module already uses fs/dlm as the
underlying lock manager, so I only had to add the right calls.
Cluster-aware POSIX locks ("plocks") can be turned off by the same means at
UNIX locks - mount with 'noflocks', or create a local-only Ocfs2 volume.
Internally, the file system uses two sets of file_operations, depending on
whether cluster aware plocks is required. This turns out to be easier than
implementing local-only versions of ->lock.

Hook up ocfs2_flock(), using the new flock lock type in dlmglue.c. A new
mount option, "localflocks" is added so that users can revert to old
functionality as need be.
