locks: break delegations on unlink
We need to break delegations on any operation that changes the set of links pointing to an inode. Start with unlink. Such operations also hold the i_mutex on a parent directory. Breaking a delegation may require waiting for a timeout (by default 90 seconds) in the case of a unresponsive NFS client. To avoid blocking all directory operations, we therefore drop locks before waiting for the delegation. The logic then looks like: acquire locks ... test for delegation; if found: take reference on inode release locks wait for delegation break drop reference on inode retry It is possible this could never terminate. (Even if we take precautions to prevent another delegation being acquired on the same inode, we could get a different inode on each retry.) But this seems very unlikely. The initial test for a delegation happens after the lock on the target inode is acquired, but the directory inode may have been acquired further up the call stack. We therefore add a "struct inode **" argument to any intervening functions, which we use to pass the inode back up to the caller in the case it needs a delegation synchronously broken.
