Subject[PATCH - 2.6.15-rc1-mm1 ] Re-fix compat_sys_fcntl64
Finally got some testing done on this, and it wasn't quite right.  We
need to return information from F_GETLK no-matter what l_type is - at
the very least we return a value in l_type, but might return start/length as well. 

This patch has been tested (LSB test suite), and works.
