[PATCH 00/12 v5] locks: avoid thundering-herd wake-ups

[NeilBrown]

Changes:
 - field names improved as requested by Bruce.
   "fl_blocked_requests" is a list of blocked requests,
   linked through fl_block_member
 - the introductory text has been moved to a commit comment
   as suggested by Bruce
 - documentation added to locks.c as suggested by Bruce - I made
   a few little changes
 - flock_make_lock() now properly initialized a lock - using
   the code from Jeff
 - code actually compiles for ocfs2 and gfs2

Thanks,
NeilBrown
