fs: warn about impending deprecation of mandatory locks
[ Upstream commit fdd92b64d15bc4aec973caa25899afd782402e68 ] We've had CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING since 2015 and a lot of distros have disabled it. Warn the stragglers that still use "-o mand" that we'll be dropping support for that mount option.
