It looks like a reasonable clean-up. Handful of comments below.

"struct file_lock" on my system is 216 bytes. That's a lot to
allocate on the stack, but there isn't much else there in
addition to "struct file_lock", so OK.

We hope the compiler recognizes that passing a constant value through
a switch statement means the flock_translate_cmd() call here is
reduced to a constant F_UNLCK. It might be slightly easier to read
if you explicitly pass F_UNLCK here? Dunno.
