fs: dlm: allow to F_SETLKW getting interrupted

Alexander Aring requested to merge netcoder/centos-stream-9:RHEL-29766 into main

JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-29766

Upstream Status: kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

This patch implements dlm plock F_SETLKW interruption feature. If a blocking posix lock request got interrupted in user space by a signal a cancellation request for a non granted lock request to the user space lock manager will be send. The user lock manager answers either with zero or a negative errno code. A errno of -ENOENT signals that there is currently no blocking lock request waiting to being granted. In case of -ENOENT it was probably to late to request a cancellation and the pending lock got granted. In any error case we will wait until the lock is being granted as cancellation failed, this causes also that in case of an older user lock manager returning -EINVAL we will wait as cancellation is not supported which should be fine. If a user requires this feature the user should update dlm user space to support lock request cancellation.
