Describe what this PR does
The pr implements a global mutex with the help of rados omap, this is needed because there is a concurrency in cephfs when encryption is used. This fixes the issue: #4654.
Is there anything that requires special attention
Due to this kernel requirement the testing is limited to the functionality of the mutex rather than the full feature
Sorry, I had to open this in a work in progress state, since I will be away on vacation the next four weeks and thought in case there is interest in continuing the work this would not go to waste. However I have tested this on a test setup with fscrypt compatible kernel and the concurrency issue is fixed. I will however add some things below that might need some attention still
