NFS: Remove the flock check for matching open mode

Commit e12937279c8b "NFS: Move the flock open mode check into nfs_flock()"
changed NFSv3 behavior for flock() such that the open mode must match the
lock type, however this requirement shouldn't be enforced for flock().

Since FL_POSIX locks are already checked in fs/locks.c, remove this check
in NFS altogether.  For NFSv4, allow the server to determine whether or not
the mode should match the lock type for flock().

Self-NACK.  I think the client assumes that it always sends operations
matching the openmode, so NFS4ERR_OPENMODE returned from the server can 
be
assumed to be the result of a revoked or expired state.  In order to 
pass
the server's results back up to fcntl(), we'd need a way to determine if 
the
LOCK's state hasn't been revoked.

I don't think its worth the work or time to fix up error handling for 
this
one case, so probably the best thing to do is accept that commit
e12937279c8b was just plain wrong and revert it.
