My thoughts exactly.  I wrote this way because flock_translate_cmd() was
called in flock_make_lock(), so I guessed there might be coding conventions
like we should try to use uAPI value.

I have no strong preference though, if there is no such convention, I like
using F_UNLCK directly instead of trusting the compiler.
