[PATCH RFC 09/24] filelock: lift the ban on directory leases in generic_setlease

[Jeff Layton]

With the addition of the try_break_lease calls in directory changing
operations, allow generic_setlease to hand them out.

Note that this also makes directory leases available to userland via
fcntl(). I don't see a real reason to prevent userland from acquiring
one, but we could reinstate the prohibition if that's preferable.
