[ Upstream commitdf2474a22c] Since9e8925b67a("locks: Allow disabling mandatory locking at compile time"), attempts to mount filesystems with "-o mand" will fail. Unfortunately, there is no other indiciation of the reason for the failure. Change how the function is defined for better readability. When CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING is disabled, printk a warning when someone attempts to mount with -o mand. Also, add a blurb to the mandatory-locking.txt file to explain about the "mand" option, and the behavior one should expect when it is disabled.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
