NFSv4: always set NFS_LOCK_LOST when a lock is lost.

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit dce2630c7d ]

There are 2 comments in the NFSv4 code which suggest that
SIGLOST should possibly be sent to a process.  In these
cases a lock has been lost.
The current practice is to set NFS_LOCK_LOST so that
read/write returns EIO when a lock is lost.
So change these comments to code when sets NFS_LOCK_LOST.

One case is when lock recovery after apparent server restart
fails with NFS4ERR_DENIED, NFS4ERR_RECLAIM_BAD, or
NFS4ERRO_RECLAIM_CONFLICT.  The other case is when a lock
attempt as part of lease recovery fails with NFS4ERR_DENIED.

In an ideal world, these should not happen.  However I have
a packet trace showing an NFSv4.1 session getting
NFS4ERR_BADSESSION after an extended network parition.  The
NFSv4.1 client treats this like server reboot until/unless
it get NFS4ERR_NO_GRACE, in which case it switches over to
"nograce" recovery mode.  In this network trace, the client
attempts to recover a lock and the server (incorrectly)
reports NFS4ERR_DENIED rather than NFS4ERR_NO_GRACE.  This
leads to the ineffective comment and the client then
continues to write using the OPEN stateid.
