lib/test_lockup.c: add parameters for locking generic vfs locks

file_path=<path>	defines file or directory to open
lock_inode=Y		set lock_rwsem_ptr to inode->i_rwsem
lock_mapping=Y		set lock_rwsem_ptr to mapping->i_mmap_rwsem
lock_sb_umount=Y	set lock_rwsem_ptr to sb->s_umount

This gives safe and simple way to see how system reacts to contention of
common vfs locks and how syscalls depend on them directly or indirectly.

For example to block s_umount for 60 seconds:
# modprobe test_lockup file_path=. lock_sb_umount time_secs=60 state=S

This is useful for checking/testing scalability issues like this:
