Rename the new 'recover_locks' kernel parameter to 'recover_lost_locks'
and change the default to 'false'. Document why in
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

Move the 'recover_lost_locks' kernel parameter to fs/nfs/super.c to
make it easy to backport to kernels prior to 3.6.x, which don't have
a separate NFSv4 module.
