locks: fix F_GETLK regression (failure to find conflicts)
In 9d6a8c5c213e34c475e72b245a8eb709258e968c we changed posix_test_lock to modify its single file_lock argument instead of taking separate input and output arguments. This makes it no longer safe to set the output lock's fl_type to F_UNLCK before looking for a conflict, since that means searching for a conflict against a lock with type F_UNLCK. This fixes a regression which causes F_GETLK to incorrectly report no conflict on most filesystems (including any filesystem that doesn't do its own locking). Also fix posix_lock_to_flock() to copy the lock type. This isn't strictly necessary, since the caller already does this; but it seems less likely to cause confusion in the future. Thanks to Doug Chapman for the bug report. Signed-off-by: "J.
