fsck: add support for whole-disk locking (-l option)
This feature allows to call multiple independent fsck instances rather
than use only one "fsck -A" process.
The lock uses LOCK_EX flock(2). The lock request is ignored if the
whole-disk is non-rotating disk. The verbose mode (-V) provides
information about disk locking.
Note that "fsck -l" does not care if the device is stacked, for
example if you want to call "fsck -l /dev/md0" and "fsck -l /dev/md1"
then the underlying devices will not be locked. The traditional "fsck
-A" does not run in parallel for stacked devices.
