v3: slight revision to verbiage, and use pr_warn_once

The first patch in this series adds a new warning that should pop on
kernels that have mandatory locking enabled when someone mounts a
filesystem with -o mand. The second patch removes support for mandatory
locking altogether.

What I think we probably want to do is apply the first to v5.14 before
it ships and allow the new warning to trickle out into stable kernels.
Then we can merge the second patch in v5.15 to go ahead and remove it.

Sound like a plan?

I went ahead and pushed this version into the locks-next branch, so we
can give it some soak time before merging.
