Subject: [PATCH v3 13/13] vfs: expose delegation support to userland
Now that support for recallable directory delegations is complete,
expose this functionality to userland with new F_SETDELEG and F_GETDELEG
commands for fcntl(). 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.
