I understand the problem with /proc/locks, but I don't understand why
you decided to not show locks in fdinfo. A lock is a property of a
file descriptor. If a file descriptor has a lock it doesn't matter
what process created it. This process can be dead to a moment when we read
fdinfo...

BTW: these changes breaks CRIU, which reads fdinfo to dump locks.
