Expanding on the previous commit, assuming that rbd_is_lock_owner() always returns true (i.e. that we are either in RBD_LOCK_STATE_LOCKED or RBD_LOCK_STATE_QUIESCING) if the mapping is exclusive is wrong too. In case ceph_cls_set_cookie() fails, the lock would be temporarily released even if the mapping is exclusive, meaning that we can end up even in RBD_LOCK_STATE_UNLOCKED. IOW, exclusive mappings are really "just" about disabling automatic lock transitions (as documented in the man page), not about grabbing the lock and holding on to it whatever it takes.
