nfs4: treat lock owners as opaque values



Do the following set of ops with a file on a NFSv4 mount:

    exec 3>>/file/on/nfsv4
    flock -x 3
    exec 3>&-

You'll see the LOCK request go across the wire, but no LOCKU when the
file is closed.

What happens is that the fd is passed across a fork, and the final close
is done in a different process than the opener. That makes
__nfs4_find_lock_state miss finding the correct lock state because it
uses the fl_pid as a search key. A new one is created, and the locking
code treats it as a delegation stateid (because NFS_LOCK_INITIALIZED
isn't set).

The root cause of this breakage seems to be commit 77041ed9
(NFSv4: Ensure the lockowners are labelled using the fl_owner and/or
fl_pid).

That changed it so that flock lockowners are allocated based on the
fl_pid. I think this is incorrect. flock locks should be "owned" by the
struct file, and that is already accounted for in the fl_owner field of
the lock request when it comes through nfs_flock.

This patch basically reverts the above commit and with it, a LOCKU is
sent in the above reproducer.
