[DLM] cancel in conversion deadlock [4/6]
When conversion deadlock is detected, cancel the conversion and return EDEADLK to the application. This is a new default behavior where before the dlm would allow the deadlock to exist indefinately. The DLM_LKF_NODLCKWT flag can now be used in a conversion to prevent the dlm from performing conversion deadlock detection/cancelation on it. The DLM_LKF_CONVDEADLK flag can continue to be used as before to tell the dlm to demote the granted mode of the lock being converted if it gets into a conversion deadlock.
