I think this patch can fix other dlm users as well, depending how they handle the init,     freeing memory handling of sb_lvbptr and don't set DLM_LKF_VALBLK for some dlm_lock() calls. It might a     there could be a hidden issue all the time. However with checking on DLM_LKF_VALBLK the user always need     to provide a sb_lvbptr non-null value. There might be more intelligent handling between per ls lvblen,     DLM_LKF_VALBLK and non-null to report the user the way how DLM API is used is wrong but can be added for     later, this will only fix the current behaviour.
