filelock: allow lease_managers to dictate what qualifies as a conflict
Requesting a delegation on a file from the userland fcntl() interface
currently succeeds when there are conflicting opens present.

This is because the lease handling code ignores conflicting opens for
FL_LAYOUT and FL_DELEG leases. This was a hack put in place long ago,
because nfsd already checks for conflicts in its own way. The kernel
needs to perform this check for userland delegations the same way it is
done for leases, however.

Make this dependent on the lease_manager by adding a new
->lm_open_conflict() lease_manager operation and have
generic_add_lease() call that instead of check_conflicting_open().
Morph check_conflicting_open() into a ->lm_open_conflict() op that is
only called for userland leases/delegations. Set the
->lm_open_conflict() operations for nfsd to trivial functions that
always return 0.

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
