Bug Description

eCryptfs should forward the fcntls F_SETLK, F_SETLKW, and F_GETLK (and the advisory ones) to the lower filesystem.

I've got a usecase where I have a shared NFS on multiple machines, and ecryptfs on top of the NFS on them.

I'd expect locking operations to only allow one node to modify a file at a time.

Thanks a lot!
