    Adds lock for create from vol/snap to avoid race conditions

    This patch protects create from volume/snapshot by using a
    lockfile to protect the operation from concurrent deletes of
    the volume/snapshot used in the create operation.

    Currently, if a volume/snapshot is deleted while a volume is
    being created from it that delete may complete during the
    create operation thus leaving the new volume in error or stuck
    state. This lock will ensure that:

    (a) if a create of VolA from snap/volB is in progress, any
        delete requests for snap/volB will wait until the create
        is complete.

    (b) if a delete of snap/volA is in progress, any create from
        snap/volA will wait until snap/volA delete is complete.
