Subject: [ 045/150] NLM: Ensure that we resend all pending blocking locks after a reclaim

3.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@...app.com>

commit 666b3d803a511fbc9bc5e5ea8ce66010cf03ea13 upstream.

Currently, nlmclnt_lock will break out of the for(;;) loop when
the reclaimer wakes up the blocking lock thread by setting
nlm_lck_denied_grace_period. This causes the lock request to fail
with an ENOLCK error.
The intention was always to ensure that we resend the lock request
after the grace period has expired.
