Previously, variable i_all_lf was allocated and released in several
functions: lf_setlock(), lf_clearlock(), and lf_getlock(), and was
used only temporarily as noted in flock.cc. This pattern easily leads
to bugs like those that occurred in flock.cc, such as:

  lf_setlock()            lf_clearlock()

       |                       .
   i_all_lf = tp.w_get()       .
       |                       .
       +---------------------->+
                               |
                           i_all_lf = tp.wget()
                               |
                           do something
                               |
                           (release i_all_lf implicitly)
                               |
       +<----------------------+
       |                       .
   accessing i_all_lf (may destroy tmp_pathbuf area)
       |                       .

The similar problem also happens in multi-thread case.

Fix and prevent the bugs by converting i_all_lf to a pointer pointing
to a static array in the inode_t class.  Given inodes are allocated on
the cygheap, reduce MAX_LOCKF_CNT by one so an inode_t fits into a 64K
chunk.

Avoid accessing the all locks list outside of locking and move
get_all_locks_list() call in lf_clearlock() to fhandler_base::lock()
to avoid calling the function twice.
