Add new callback, lm_expire_lock, to lock_manager_operations to allow
the lock manager to take appropriate action to resolve the lock conflict
if possible. The callback takes 1 argument, the file_lock of the blocker
and returns true if the conflict was resolved else returns false. Note
that the lock manager has to be able to resolve the conflict while
the spinlock flc_lock is held.
Lock manager, such as NFSv4 courteous server, uses this callback to
resolve conflict by destroying lock owner, or the NFSv4 courtesy client
(client that has expired but allowed to maintains its states) that owns
the lock.
