Remove locktests #1316

Description

@pevik

locktests test abandoned. I tried in the past (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/20200720091449.19813-1-pvorel@suse.cz/), there are answers:

from J. Bruce Fields (ex. NFSD maintainer)
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/20200720170117.GB25707@fieldses.org/

Looks like they may test some things (ACL enforcement, multi-client
locking), that our other test suites don't.

On the other hand, if nobody's actually running them then maybe it's on
us to adopt them if we want them. (Not volunteering for now.)

and Christoph Hellwig:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/20200720151742.GA16973@infradead.org/

NFS tests using the kernel sound like a prime candidate for xfstests.

We agreed with Cyril we should just send RFC patch deleting them and Cc linux-nfs@vger.kernel.org and fstests@vger.kernel.org. It's up to them if they see the test scenario interesting enough to be implemented in one of the testsuits.
