'loner' tracks when a single client has some exclusive capabilities on 
the file.  For example, when it is the only client with the file open, it 
can buffer reads and perform setattr operations locally.

lock_mix (lock->mix) is a transition state from lock (primary mds copy 
exclusive lock, sort of) and mix (shared write lock between multiple 
mds's).  The MDS locking is quite complex, but unfortunately there is not 
much in the way of documentation for the code. :(
