locks: allow ->lock() to return FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED
Allow filesystem's ->lock() method to call posix_lock_file() instead of posix_lock_file_wait(), and return FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED. This makes it possible to implement a such a ->lock() function, that works with the lock manager, which needs the call to be asynchronous. Now the vfs_lock_file() helper can be used, so this is a cleanup as well. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Cc: "J.
