This patchset adds support for CB_NOTIFY_LOCK callbacks to the NFS client. The basic idea is to add a waitqueue to the nfs_client and then have blocking lock waiters wait on that queue for callbacks. When a callback comes in, we use a keyed wakeup to wake any waiters. The waitqueue handling is necessarily more "manual" than I would like, but I don't see a real alternative there given that we need to insert the waiters onto the waitqueue prior to sending the lock request, and sending a lock request can involve blocking operations. Tested in conjunction with the corresponding knfsd server-side patchset.
