It took me quite a while to figure out what's going on here, as this
adds a call to flock_lock_file, but it still keeps the old open coded
loop around, just with a slightly different WARN_ON.

I'd suggest keeping an open coded loop in locks_remove_flock, which
should both be more efficient and easier to review.
