Setting a lease is generally done at the behest of userland, so we need a mechanism to ensure that a userland task can completely close a file without having to return back to userspace. To do this, we borrow the delayed_fput infrastructure that kthreads use. fput_queue will queue to the delayed_fput list if the last reference was put. The caller can then call flush_delayed_fput to ensure that the files are completely closed before proceeding.
