Subject: [PATCH] vboxsf: explicitly deny setlease attempts

vboxsf does not break leases on its own, so it can't properly handle the
case where the hypervisor changes the data. Don't allow file leases on
vboxsf.

Looking over the comments in the code around cache coherency, it seems
like it ought to deny file locks as well? We could add a stub ->lock
routine that just returns -ENOLCK or something.

Thanks, patch looks good to me:

I have added this to my local vboxsf branch now and I'll send
out a pull-request with this and a couple of other vboxsf fixes
soon.

Regards,
