Since commit d0677992d2af ("cifs: add support for flock") added
support for flock, LTP/flock03[1] testcase started to fail.
This testcase is testing flock lock and unlock across fork.
The parent locks file and starts the child process, in which
it unlock the same fd and lock the same file with another fd
again. All the lock and unlock operation should succeed.
Now the child process does not actually unlock the file, so
the following lock fails. Fix this by allowing flock and OFD
lock go through the unlock routine, not skipping if the unlock
request comes from another process.
Patch has been tested by LTP/xfstests on samba and Windows
server, v3.11, with or without cache=none mount option.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
