nfs: disable leases over NFS
As Peter Staubach says elsewhere
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=118113649526444&w=2):
> The problem is that some file system such as NFSv2 and NFSv3 do
> not have sufficient support to be able to support leases correctly.
> In particular for these two file systems, there is no over the wire
> protocol support.
>
> Currently, these two file systems fail the fcntl(F_SETLEASE) call
> accidentally, due to a reference counting difference. These file
> systems should fail more consciously, with a proper error to
> indicate that the call is invalid for them.
Define an nfs setlease method that just returns -EINVAL.
If someone can demonstrate a real need, perhaps we could reenable
them in the presence of the "nolock" mount option.
