Subject: [PATCH v2 01/11] filelock: push the S_ISREG check down to
 ->setlease handlers

When nfsd starts requesting directory delegations, setlease handlers may
see requests for leases on directories. Push the !S_ISREG check down
into the non-trivial setlease handlers, so we can selectively enable
them where they're supported.

FUSE is special: It's the only filesystem that supports atomic_open and
allows kernel-internal leases. atomic_open is issued when the VFS
doesn't know the state of the dentry being opened. If the file doesn't
exist, it may be created, in which case the dir lease should be broken.

The existing kernel-internal lease implementation has no provision for
this. Ensure that we don't allow directory leases by default going
forward by explicitly disabling them there.
