Merge tag 'locks-v3.18-1' of git://git.samba.org/jlayton/linux
Pull file locking related changes from Jeff Layton:
"This release is a little more busy for file locking changes than the
last:
- a set of patches from Kinglong Mee to fix the lockowner handling in
knfsd
- a pile of cleanups to the internal file lease API. This should get
us a bit closer to allowing for setlease methods that can block.
There are some dependencies between mine and Bruce's trees this cycle,
and I based my tree on top of the requisite patches in Bruce's tree"

locks: set fl_owner for leases to filp instead of current->files
locks: give lm_break a return value
locks: __break_lease cleanup in preparation of allowing direct removal of leases
locks: remove i_have_this_lease check from __break_lease
locks: move freeing of leases outside of i_lock
