This patch will ignore dlm plock results with DLM_PLOCK_FL_CLOSE being
set. When DLM_PLOCK_FL_CLOSE is set then no reply is expected and a
plock op cannot being matched and the result cannot be delivered to the
caller. In some user space software applications like dlm_controld (the
common application and only knowing implementation using this UAPI) can
send an error back even if an result is never being expected.
This patch will ignore results if DLM_PLOCK_FL_CLOSE is being set, but
requires that the user space application sents the result back with
DLM_PLOCK_FL_CLOSE set which is the case for dlm_controld.
