Allow multiple workqueue items (locks with callbacks) to be
processed concurrently. There should be no reason not to
take advantage of this workqueue feature.

Instead of creating our own kthread (dlm_astd) to deliver
callbacks for all lockspaces, use a per-lockspace workqueue
to deliver the callbacks. This eliminates complications and
slowdowns from many lockspaces sharing the same thread.

Change how callbacks are recorded for locks. Previously, information
about multiple callbacks was combined into a couple of variables that
indicated what the end result should be. In some situations, we
could not tell from this combined state what the exact sequence of
callbacks were, and would end up either delivering the callbacks in
the wrong order, or suppress redundant callbacks incorrectly. This
new approach records all the data for each callback, leaving no
uncertainty about what needs to be delivered.

When both blocking and completion callbacks are queued for lock,
the dlm would always deliver the completion callback (cast) first.
In some cases the blocking callback (bast) is queued before the
cast, though, and should be delivered first. This patch keeps
track of the order in which they were queued and delivers them
in that order.
This patch also keeps track of the granted mode in the last cast
and eliminates the following bast if the bast mode is compatible
with the preceding cast mode. This happens when a remotely mastered
lock is demoted, e.g. EX->NL, in which case the local node queues
a cast immediately after sending the demote message. In this way
a cast can be queued for a mode, e.g. NL, that makes an in-transit
bast extraneous.

The lkb bastmode value is set in the context of processing the
lock, and read by the dlm_astd thread. Because it's accessed
in these two separate contexts, the writing/reading ought to
be done under a lock. This is simple to do by setting it and
reading it when the lkb is added to and removed from dlm_astd's
callback list which is properly locked.

Just before delivering a blocking callback (bast), the dlm_astd
thread checks again that the granted mode of the lkb actually
blocks the mode requested by the bast. The idea behind this was
originally that the granted mode may have changed since the bast
was queued, making the callback now unnecessary. Reasons for
removing this extra check are:
- dlm_astd doesn't lock the rsb before reading the lkb grmode, so
it's not technically safe (this removes the long standing FIXME)
- after running some tests, it doesn't appear the check ever actually
eliminates a bast
- delivering an unnecessary blocking callback isn't a bad thing and
can happen anyway

This is a one-liner to use cond_resched() rather than schedule()
in the ast delivery loop. It should not be necessary to schedule
every time, so this will save some cpu time while continuing to
allow scheduling when required.

The down-conversion optimization was resulting in the lkb flags being
cleared because the stub message reply had no flags value set. Copy the
current flags into the stub message so they'll be copied back into the lkb
as part of processing the fake reply. Also add an assertion to catch this
error more directly if it exists elsewhere.

This changes the way the dlm handles user locks. The core dlm is now
aware of user locks so they can be dealt with more efficiently. There is
no more dlm_device module which previously managed its own duplicate copy
of every user lock.

This is the core of the distributed lock manager which is required
to use GFS2 as a cluster filesystem. It is also used by CLVM and
can be used as a standalone lock manager independantly of either
of these two projects.
It implements VAX-style locking modes.
