Configure out file locking features

This patch adds the CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING option which allows to remove
support for advisory locks. With this patch enabled, the flock()
system call, the F_GETLK, F_SETLK and F_SETLKW operations of fcntl()
and NFS support are disabled. These features are not necessarly needed
on embedded systems. It allows to save ~11 Kb of kernel code and data:

   text          data     bss     dec     hex filename
1125436        118764  212992 1457192  163c28 vmlinux.old
1114299        118564  212992 1445855  160fdf vmlinux
