Subject: [PATCH v4 17/17] vfs: expose delegation support to userland
Now that support for recallable directory delegations is available,
expose this functionality to userland with new F_SETDELEG and F_GETDELEG
commands for fcntl().
Note that this also allows userland to request a FL_DELEG type lease on
files too. Userland applications that do will get signalled when there
are metadata changes in addition to just data changes (which is a
limitation of FL_LEASE leases).
These commands accept a new "struct delegation" argument that contains a
flags field for future expansion.
