INPLACE REORG should always be interruptible

Under certain circumstances it is not possible to stop/pause or force an INPLACE REORG that waits for a lock (TS019866410). Because the INPLACE REORG does not respect lock timeouts,  it hangs in "lock wait" until the lock holding session releases the lock. It would be advantageous if the Db2 Admin would be able to stop/pause the INPLACE REORG to clear this situation.  To force the lock holding session is not always an acceptable option.  

Because in this special situations the INPLACE REORG has not even really started to reorganize the data it is not understandable that it should not be possible to stop/pause or force it.
