cluster/afr: Remove backward compatibility for locks with v1
When we have cascading locks with same lk-owner there is a possibility for a deadlock to happen. One example is as follows: self-heal takes a lock in data-domain for big name with 256 chars of "aaaa...a" and starts heal in a 3-way replication when brick-0 is offline and healing from brick-1 to brick-2 is in progress. So this lock is active on brick-1 and brick-2. Now brick-0 comes online and an operation wants to take full lock and the lock is granted at brick-0 and it is waiting for lock on brick-1. As part of entry healing it takes full locks on all the available bricks and then proceeds with healing the entry. Now this lock will start waiting on brick-0 because some other operation already has a granted lock on it. This leads to a deadlock. Operation is waiting for unlock on "aaaa..." by heal where as heal is waiting for the operation to unlock on brick-0. Initially I thought this is happening because healing is trying to take a lock on all the available bricks instead of just the bricks that are participating in heal. But later realized that same kind of deadlock can happen if a brick goes down after the heal starts but comes back before it completes. So the essential problem is the cascading locks with same lk-owner which were added for backward compatibility with afr-v1 which can be safely removed now that versions with afr-v1 are already EOL. This patch removes the compatibility with v1 which requires cascading locks with same lk-owner. In the next version we can make locking-scheme option a dummy and switch completely to v2.
