cluster/afr: cleanup lk_owner and PID mess
Historically PID (frame->root->pid) was used by the locks translator to identify a locker (and make decisions about which locks contend or cooperate/merge). Since the introduction of lock_owner parameter the usage of PID (for locks) was deprecated and is now unused. This patch nukes the usage of PID in AFR The usage of lk_owner has also ended up being a mess, because of the differentiation required between ->lk() and ->inodelk(), (->lk() needs to be identified by the process (roughly) and ->inodelk() needs to be identified by the transaction) and also because of optimizations like eager locking (locks are no more identified by the transaction as they now get inherited by the next transaction). The scheme (and technique) now is: - All FOPs (the third phase of the transaction) happen with the lk_owner which is set by the topmost layer (FUSE, NFS etc.) - All entrylks are issued with lk_owner set to the frame->root address. - Inodelks which will not be subject to eager locking are issued with lk_owner set to frame->root. - Inodelks which are subject to eager locking are issued with lk_owner set to the address of fd_t (which are the only type of frames which get subject to the eager locking optimization) - At the start of the transaction, the transaction frame's lk_owner is set to the either frame->root or fd_t (and never unmodified) depending on the type of transaction. - Just before the third phase (FOP phase) the set lk_owner is "saved" away and overwritten by the lk_owner submitted by the top layer (FUSE or NFS) - Right after the third phase, the saved lk_owner is "restored" to resume the transaction into the POST-OP and eventually UNLOCK using the same lk_owner which was used during the LOCK phase.
