Chuck Lever 1b0490e6a0 lockd: Use xdrgen XDR functions for the NLMv3 UNLOCK procedure
The NLM UNLOCK procedure allows clients to release held locks,
completing the basic lock lifecycle alongside TEST, LOCK, and
CANCEL procedures already converted in this series.

Convert UNLOCK to use the xdrgen functions
nlm_svc_decode_nlm_unlockargs and nlm_svc_encode_nlm_res
generated from the NLM version 3 protocol specification, reusing
the nlm3svc_lookup_host() and nlm3svc_lookup_file() helpers
introduced earlier in the series. The procedure handler uses
xdrgen types through a wrapper structure that bridges between
generated code and the legacy lockd_lock representation still
used by the core lockd logic.

Setting pc_argzero to zero is safe because the generated decoder
fills the argp->xdrgen subfields before the procedure runs, so
the zeroing memset performed by the dispatch layer is not needed.
The lock member of the wrapper is populated explicitly in
nlm3svc_lookup_file() rather than relying on zero-initialization.
