This patch will be used to insure the dlm lockspace is created by kernel module when mounting a ocfs2 file system. There are two ways to create a lockspace, from user space and kernel space, but the same name lockspaces probably have different lvblen lengths/flags. To avoid this mix using, we add one more flag DLM_LSFL_NEWEXCL, it will make sure the dlm lockspace is created by kernel module when mounting. Secondly, if a user space program (ocfs2-tools) is running on a file system, the user tries to mount this file system in the cluster, DLM module will return a -EEXIST or -EPROTO errno, we should give the user a obvious error message, then, the user can let that user space tool exit before mounting the file system again.
