The question is here if we ever want that posix_lock_file() receives a
posix lock that has flc_flags and the FL_SLEEP set. As mentioned, may
"posix_lock_file()" can just deal with it and will not block?

This patch indeed broke it as posix_lock_file() will never see a lock
request with FL_SLEEP set, but I remembered that nfs is only polling
locks and "probably" never set FL_SLEEP?

Thanks.
