fs: dlm: remove deprecated code parts
This patch removes code parts which was declared deprecated by commit 6b0afc0c ("fs: dlm: don't use deprecated timeout features by default"). This contains the following dlm functionality: - start a cancel of a dlm request did not complete after certain timeout: The current way how dlm cancellation works and interfering with other dlm requests triggered by the user can end in an overlapping and returning in -EBUSY. The most user don't handle this case and are unaware that DLM can return such errno in such situation. Due the timeout the user are mostly unaware when this happens. - start a netlink warning messages for user space if dlm requests did not complete after certain timeout: This feature was never being built in the only known dlm user space side. As we are to remove the timeout cancellation feature we can directly remove this feature as well. There might be the possibility to bring the timeout cancellation feature back. However the current way of handling the -EBUSY case which is only a software limitation and not a hardware limitation should be changed. We minimize the current code base in DLM cancellation feature to not have to deal with those existing features while solving the DLM cancellation feature in general. UAPI define DLM_LSFL_TIMEWARN is commented as deprecated and reserved value. We should avoid at first to give it a new meaning but let possible users still compile by keeping this define. In far future we can give this flag a new meaning. The same for the DLM_LKF_TIMEOUT lock request flag.
