I don't have it for now.

We need to determine if we have a share reservation error to map it
accurately in file servers and wine.

May be it's better to let root an ability to remount the system
without sharelock mount option and then fix an emergency?

Nothing, but it doesn't bring problems here: if the first IS_SHARELOCK
condition is true, we don't get into the second (see 'goto opened').
