These new callbacks notify the dlm user about lock recovery.
GFS2, and possibly others, need to be aware of when the dlm
will be doing lock recovery for a failed lockspace member.
In the past, this coordination has been done between dlm and
file system daemons in userspace, which then direct their
kernel counterparts. These callbacks allow the same
coordination directly, and more simply.

Slot numbers are assigned to nodes when they join the lockspace.
The slot number chosen is the minimum unused value starting at 1.
Once a node is assigned a slot, that slot number will not change
while the node remains a lockspace member. If the node leaves
and rejoins it can be assigned a new slot number.
A new generation number is also added to a lockspace. It is
set and incremented during each recovery along with the slot
collection/assignment.
The slot numbers will be passed to gfs2 which will use them as
journal id's.

Messages from nodes that are no longer members of the lockspace should be
ignored. When nodes are removed from the lockspace, recovery can
sometimes complete quickly enough that messages arrive from a removed node
after recovery has completed. When processed, these messages would often
cause an error message, and could in some cases change some state, causing
problems.

This is the core of the distributed lock manager which is required
to use GFS2 as a cluster filesystem. It is also used by CLVM and
can be used as a standalone lock manager independantly of either
of these two projects.
It implements VAX-style locking modes.
