locks: provide a file lease method enabling cluster-coherent leases 

Currently leases are only kept locally, so there's no way for a distributed
filesystem to enforce them against multiple clients.  We're particularly
interested in the case of nfsd exporting a cluster filesystem, in which
case nfsd needs cluster-coherent leases in order to implement delegations
correctly.

Also add some documentation.

* This will call the filesystem's setlease file method, if

* filesystem setlease method should call back to setlease() to
* add a lease to the inode's lease list, where fcntl_getlease() can

* There is also no break_lease method; filesystems that

* Warning: the only current setlease methods exist only to disable
* leases in certain cases. More vfs changes may be required to
* allow a full filesystem lease implementation.
