Even when expire_client always succeeds, what do we do when we go
back up to the loop to get a new 'cfl' from the list and that happens
to be the same one we just expire?  this should not happen but we can
not ignore that condition in the code.

This patch can be used for other lock managers and not just nfsd (even
though nfsd is the only consumer for now), can we force other lock managers
to guarantee lm_expire_lock(not_test_case) *always* resolve the conflict
successfully?

We have to have this loop since there might be more than one conflict
lock.

That's what the current code does.
