9p: Skip check for mandatory locks when unlocking
While investigating a bug, I came across a possible bug in v9fs. The
problem is similar to the one reported for NFS by ASANO Masahiro in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/12/21/334.
v9fs_file_lock() will skip locks on file which has mode set to 02666.
This is a problem in cases where the mode of the file is changed after
a process has obtained a lock on the file. Such a lock will be skipped
during unlock and the machine will end up with a BUG in
locks_remove_flock().
v9fs_file_lock() should skip the check for mandatory locks when
unlocking a file.
