[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: allow multiple lockowners



>From the language of rfc3530 section 8.1.3 (e.g., the suggestion that a
"process id" might be a reasonable lockowner value) it's conceivable that a
client might want to use the same lockowner string on multiple files, so we may
as well allow that.  We expect each use of open_to_lockowner to create a
distinct seqid stream, though.

For now we're also allowing multiple uses of open_to_lockowner with the same
open, though it seems unlikely clients would actually do that.

Also add a comment reminding myself of some very non-scalable data structures.
