From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com>

NFSv4.1 supports an optional lock notification feature which notifies
the client when a lock comes available.  (Normally NFSv4 clients just
poll for locks if necessary.)  To make that work, we need to request a
blocking lock from the filesystem.

We turned that off for NFS in f657f8eef3ff "nfs: don't atempt blocking
locks on nfs reexports" because it actually blocks the nfsd thread while
waiting for the lock.

Thanks to Vasily Averin for pointing out that NFS isn't the only
filesystem with that problem.

Any filesystem that leaves ->lock NULL will use posix_lock_file(), which
does the right thing.  Simplest is just to assume that any filesystem
that defines its own ->lock is not safe to request a blocking lock from.

So, this patch mostly reverts f657f8eef3ff and b840be2f00c0, and instead
uses a check of ->lock (Vasily's suggestion) to decide whether to
support blocking lock notifications on a given filesystem.  Also add a
little documentation.

Perhaps someday we could add back an export flag later to allow
filesystems with "good" ->lock methods to support blocking lock
notifications.
