4df70a254d base: genlock: Remove genlock_release_lock and associated ioctl
Allowing a lock to be asynchronously released while a handle
was still active turned out to be too dangerous to use in a
multi-threaded environment and it served no pratical
purpose anyway.  Handles now hold an attached lock until they
are destroyed.
