Ensure that locks time out
--------------------------

                 Key: ISPN-445
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-445
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Locking and Concurrency
            Reporter: Phil vd
            Assignee: Manik Surtani


When a lock is acquired, no mechanism ensure that it is reclaimed later.

So if for whatever reason the thread owning the lock is stuck in an endless loop or waiting for some resource, the entry is locked. This kind of situation could happen in cache stores trying to contact a remote storage.

The risk is quite high that other entries may be locked as well if you use lock stripping (default : TRUE)
