Jeff Layton 516fac1e07 filelock: new helper: vfs_inode_has_locks
[ Upstream commit ab1ddef98a715eddb65309ffa83267e4e84a571e ]

Ceph has a need to know whether a particular inode has any locks set on
it. It's currently tracking that by a num_locks field in its
filp->private_data, but that's problematic as it tries to decrement this
field when releasing locks and that can race with the file being torn
down.

Add a new vfs_inode_has_locks helper that just returns whether any locks
are currently held on the inode.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
