    locks: fix F_GETLK regression (failure to find conflicts) · 129a84de

     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.
