There are few problems:
1) posix_lock_inode() is static in fs/locks.c
2) exported posix_lock_file() used posix_lock_inode() inside requires file pointer,
and I do not understand how to get it.
3) _nfs4_do_setlk() is called from do_setlk and handles flocks too, 
therefore any posix-only calls requires additional checks or branches.

On the other hand all that is required to handle F_SETLK with FL_SLEEP correctly :
to avoid blocking on exiting lock. We can reach this goal here by drop of FL_SLEEP flag
before locks_lock_inode_wait() execution.

PS I'm worry for a long delay with answer,
in Russia we have long holidays after New Year,
then I dealt with urgent tasks accumulated over the holidays
then I forgot the context of this patch and 
I was need to spend some time to re-member the details.
