Steven Whitehouse 048bca2237 [GFS2] No lock_nolock
This patch merges the lock_nolock module into GFS2 itself. As well as removing
some of the overhead of the module, it also means that its now impossible to
build GFS2 without a lock module (which would be a pointless thing to do
anyway).

We also plan to merge lock_dlm into GFS2 in the future, but that is a more
tricky task, and will therefore be a separate patch.

A cluster filesystem.
Allows a cluster of computers to simultaneously use a block device
that is shared between them (with FC, iSCSI, NBD, etc...). GFS reads
and writes to the block device like a local filesystem, but also uses
a lock module to allow the computers coordinate their I/O so
filesystem consistency is maintained. One of the nifty features of
GFS is perfect consistency -- changes made to the filesystem on one
machine show up immediately on all other machines in the cluster.
To use the GFS2 filesystem in a cluster, you will need to enable
the locking module below. Documentation and utilities for GFS2 can
be found here: http://sources.redhat.com/cluster
The "nolock" lock module is now built in to GFS2 by default.

Multiple node locking module for GFS2
Most users of GFS2 will require this module. It provides the locking
interface between GFS2 and the DLM, which is required to use GFS2
in a cluster environment.
