Yeah, I think nfs4_set_lock_denied should just set dummy values for now.

If we don't, then nfsd_test_lock is passing back a lock with a pointer
to a real reference-counted object, and I worry about what happens if
e.g.  locks are being freed concurrently with our processing of the
conflicting lock here.

Our holding the nfs4_state_lock() here may be enough to prevent
problems, but it seems fragile.

And getting the conflicting lock completely right just isn't that high a
priority.
