locks: clean up vfs_setlease kerneldoc comments

Browse Source 
Some of the latter paragraphs seem ambiguous and just plain wrong.
In particular the break_lease comment makes no sense. We call
break_lease (and break_deleg) from all sorts of vfs-layer functions,
so there is clearly such a method.

Also get rid of some of the other comments about what's needed for
a full implementation.

* This will call the filesystem's setlease file method, if
* defined. Note that there is no getlease method; instead, the
* filesystem setlease method should call back to setlease() to
* add a lease to the inode's lease list, where fcntl_getlease() can
* find it. Since fcntl_getlease() only reports whether the current
* task holds a lease, a cluster filesystem need only do this for
* leases held by processes on this node.
*
* There is also no break_lease method; filesystems that
* handle their own leases should break leases themselves from the
* filesystem's open, create, and (on truncate) setattr methods.
*
* Warning: the only current setlease methods exist only to disable
* leases in certain cases. More vfs changes may be required to
* allow a full filesystem lease implementation.
* Call this to establish a lease on the file. The "lease" argument is not
* used for F_UNLCK requests and may be NULL. For commands that set or alter
* an existing lease, the (*lease)->fl_lmops->lm_break operation must be set;
* if not, this function will return -ENOLCK (and generate a scary-looking
* stack trace).
