This change is not targeted to fix Wine-specific behavior. If we
negotiate mandatory locking we need to be sure the server and client
are the same: the server denied writes to the range locked with read
lock - we should do the same things on the client to make the behavior
not depend on the kind of oplock we have now.

As for wine mount option: now, when we have rwpidforward and forcemand
mount options, I don't think we need it because all that it should do
is rwpidforward + forcemand + strictcache.
