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.
