[PATCH] fuse: drop obsoleted lockd restriction in fuse_setlk

[Vasily Averin <vvs@virtuozzo.com>]

kernel export threads like nfsd, lockd and ksmbd can deadlock if
exported file system does not support asynchronous processing of
blocking locks.

Some time ago this problem was work arounded in fuse by commit
48e90761b570 ("fuse: lockd support"), however it was not fully
correct because of all locking requests was disables including
non-blocking (i.e. w/o FL_SLEEP in fl_flags) locks.

Now this check is incomplete: nfs v4 does not use lockd and handles
locking request via nfsd directly, recently added ksmbd uses
vfs_lock_file() too. However both these servers does not have
fl->fl_lmops->lm_grant defined.

Original problem was noticed again, and now it will be fixed on the
server side: all affected kernel threads will not use FL_SLEEP if
exported file system does not support asynchronous processing of
blocking locks.

According patches was submitted but not merged yet
[PATCH] nfs: block notification on fs with its own ->lock
[PATCH] ksmbd: force "fail immediately" flag on fs with its own ->lock
