locks: add lock cancel command
Lock managers need to be able to cancel pending lock requests. In the case where the exported filesystem manages its own locks, it's not sufficient just to call posix_unblock_lock(); we need to let the filesystem know what's happening too. We do this by adding a new fcntl lock command: FL_CANCELLK. Some day this might also be made available to userspace applications that could benefit from an asynchronous locking api.
