[PATCH - 2.6.15-rc1-mm1 ] Re-fix compat_sys_fcntl64

From: NeilBrown
Date: Fri Nov 18 2005 - 04:57:30 EST



Finally got some testing done on this, and it wasn't quite right. We
need to return information from F_GETLK no-matter what l_type is - at
the very least we return a value in l_type, but might return start/length as well.

This patch has been tested (LSB test suite), and works.
