fs: dlm: remove socket shutdown handling

Since commit 489d8e559c65 ("fs: dlm: add reliable connection if
reconnect") we have functionality like TCP offers for half-closed
sockets on dlm application protocol layer. This feature is required
because the cluster manager events about leaving resource memberships
can be locally already occurred but other cluster nodes having a pending
leaving membership over the cluster manager protocol happening. In this
time the local dlm node already shutdown it's connection and don't
transmit anymore any new dlm messages, but however it still needs to be
able to accept dlm messages because the pending leave membership request
of the cluster manager protocol which the dlm kernel implementation has
no control about it.

We have this functionality on the application for two reasons, the main
reason is that SCTP does not support such functionality on socket
layer. But we can do it inside application layer.

Another small issue is that this feature is broken in the TCP world
because some NAT devices does not implement such functionality
correctly. This is the same reason why the reliable connection session
layer in DLM exists. We give up on middle devices in the networking
which sends e.g. TCP resets out. In DLM we cannot have any message
dropping and we ensure it over a session layer that it can't happen.

Back to the half-closed grace shutdown handling. It's not necessary
anymore to do it on socket layer (which is only support for TCP sockets)
because we do it on application layer. This patch removes this handling,
if there are still issues then we have a problem on the application
layer for such handling.
