[RFC][PATCH 1/3][cr][v2]: Define do_setlease()

[Serge E. Hallyn]

Quoting Sukadev Bhattiprolu (sukadev at linux.vnet.ibm.com):
> Move the core functionality of fcntl_setlease() into a new function,
> do_setlease(). do_setlease() is same as fcntl_setlease() except that
> it takes an extra 'rem_lease' parameter. do_setlease() will be used
> in a follow-on patch to checkpoint/restart file-leases.

Note that rem_lease arg here is int, but the value you're checkpointing
and passing in is unsigned long.  So userspace on 64-bit could easily
overflow that, though not sure to what end.  Also putting 'unsigned long'
in the checkpoint_hdr.h is not in keeping with the rest of that file.
