dlm: make add_to_waiters() that it can't fail

If add_to_waiters() fails we have a problem because the previous called
functions such as validate_lock_args() or validate_unlock_args() sets
specific lkb values that are set for a request, there exists no way back
to revert those changes. When there is a pending lock request the
original request arguments will be overwritten with unknown
consequences.

The good news are that I believe those cases that we fail in
add_to_waiters() can't happen or very unlikely to happen (only if the DLM
user does stupid API things), but if so we have the above mentioned
problem.

There are two conditions that will be removed here. The first one is the
-EINVAL case which contains is_overlap_unlock() or (is_overlap_cancel()
and mstype == DLM_MSG_CANCEL).

The is_overlap_unlock() is missing for the normal UNLOCK case which is
moved to validate_unlock_args(). The is_overlap_cancel() already happens
in validate_unlock_args() when DLM_LKF_CANCEL is set. In case of
validate_lock_args() we check on is_overlap() when it is not a new request,
on a new request the lkb is always new and does not have those values set.

The -EBUSY check can't happen in case as for non new lock requests (when
DLM_LKF_CONVERT is set) we already check in validate_lock_args() for
lkb_wait_type and is_overlap(). Then there is only
validate_unlock_args() that will never hit the default case because
dlm_unlock() will produce DLM_MSG_UNLOCK and DLM_MSG_CANCEL messages.
