This patch removes code parts which was declared deprecated by
commit 6b0afc0cc3e9 ("fs: dlm: don't use deprecated timeout features by
default"). This contains the following dlm functionality:

- start a cancel of a dlm request did not complete after certain timeout:
  The current way how dlm cancellation works and interfering with other
  dlm requests triggered by the user can end in an overlapping and
  returning in -EBUSY. The most user don't handle this case and are
  unaware that DLM can return such errno in such situation. Due the
  timeout the user are mostly unaware when this happens.
- start a netlink warning messages for user space if dlm requests did
  not complete after certain timeout:
  This feature was never being built in the only known dlm user space side.
  As we are to remove the timeout cancellation feature we can directly
  remove this feature as well.

There might be the possibility to bring the timeout cancellation feature
back. However the current way of handling the -EBUSY case which is only
a software limitation and not a hardware limitation should be changed.
We minimize the current code base in DLM cancellation feature to not have
to deal with those existing features while solving the DLM cancellation
feature in general.

UAPI define DLM_LSFL_TIMEWARN is commented as deprecated and reserved
value. We should avoid at first to give it a new meaning but let
possible users still compile by keeping this define. In far future we
can give this flag a new meaning. The same for the DLM_LKF_TIMEOUT lock
request flag.

The resource name parameter should never be changed by DLM so we declare
it as const. At some point it is handled as a char pointer, a resource
name can be a non printable ascii string as well. This patch change it
to handle it as void pointer as it is offered by DLM API.

This patch removes warning messages that could be logged when
remote requests had been waiting on a reply message for some timeout
period (which could be set through configfs, but was rarely enabled.)
The improved midcomms layer now carefully tracks all messages and
replies, and logs much more useful messages if there is an actual
problem.

This patch adds functionality to put a lkb to the waiters state. It can
be useful to combine this feature with the "rawmsg" debugfs
functionality. It will bring the DLM lkb into a state that a message
will be parsed by the kernel.

<content type='text'>
This patch adds functionality to add an lkb during runtime. This is a
highly debugging feature only, wrong input can crash the kernel. It is a
early state feature as well. The goal is to provide a user interface for
manipulate dlm state and combine it with the rawmsg feature. It is
debugfs functionality, we don't care about UAPI breakage. Even it's
possible to add lkb's/rsb's which could never be exists in such wat by
using normal DLM operation. The user of this interface always need to
think before using this feature, not every crash which happens can really
occur during normal dlm operation.

Future there should be more functionality to add a more realistic lkb
which reflects normal DLM state inside the kernel. For now this is
enough.

<title>dlm: adopt orphan locks</title>

<content type='text'>
A process may exit, leaving an orphan lock in the lockspace.
This adds the capability for another process to acquire the
orphan lock.  Acquiring the orphan just moves the lock from
the orphan list onto the acquiring process's list of locks.

An adopting process must specify the resource name and mode
of the lock it wants to adopt.  If a matching lock is found,
the lock is moved to the caller's 's list of locks, and the
lkid of the lock is returned like the lkid of a new lock.

If an orphan with a different mode is found, then -EAGAIN is
returned.  If no orphan lock is found on the resource, then
-ENOENT is returned.  No async completion is used because
the result is immediately available.

Also, when orphans are purged, allow a zero nodeid to refer
to the local nodeid so the caller does not need to look up
the local nodeid.

Remove the dir hash table (dirtbl), and use
the rsb hash table (rsbtbl) as the resource
directory.  It has always been an unnecessary
duplication of information.

This improves efficiency by using a single rsbtbl
lookup in many cases where both rsbtbl and dirtbl
lookups were needed previously.

This eliminates the need to handle cases of rsbtbl
and dirtbl being out of sync.

In many cases there will be memory savings because
the dir hash table no longer exists.
