cluster/dht: fix memory corruption in locking api.
<man 3 qsort> The contents of the array are sorted in ascending order according to a comparison function pointed to by compar, which is called with two arguments that "point to the objects being compared". </man 3 qsort> qsort passes "pointers to members of the array" to comparision function. Since the members of the array happen to be (dht_lock_t *), the arguments passed to dht_lock_request_cmp are of type (dht_lock_t **). Previously we assumed them to be of type (dht_lock_t *), which resulted in memory corruption.
