Zach Brown 1da18d17cf scoutfs: use trylock for global server lock ...

Shared unmount hasn't worked for a long time because we didn't have the
server work woken out of blocking trying to acquire the lock.  In the
old lock code the wait conditions didn't test ->shutdown.

dlmglue doesn't give us a reasonable way to break a caller out of a
blocked lock.  We could add some code to do it with a global context
that'd have to wake all locks or add a call with a lock resource name,
not a held lock, that'd wake that specific lock.  Neither sound great.

So instead we'll use trylock to get the server lock.  It's guaranteed to
make reasonble forward progress.  The server work is already requeued
with a delay to retry.

While we're at it we add a global server lock instead of using the weird
magical inode lock in the fs space.  The server lock doesn't need keys
or to participate in item cache consistency, etc.

With this unmount works.  All mounts will now generate regular
background trylock requests.
