We only need to check lock exclusive/shared types against open mode when
flock() is used on NFS, so move it into the flock-specific path instead of
checking it for all locks.

As this is only called for flock the comment doesn't make sense.  And
maybe it's also time to ask why the VFS doesn't do this, as I'd expect
it to perform this instead of every file system.

I can fixup the comment for clarity as I just moved this chunk over.

I'm not aware that flock() has ever had this check, but posix locks requires
it.  My understanding is that since NFS may simulate flock() with posix
locking, the check is necessary for NFS.

I can only speculate what applications out there may be using mis-matched
file modes and flock operations.  Changing that behavior seems beyond the
scope of this work.

IIRC, flock doesn't require this check. You can (for instance) open a
file for read and lock it for write. POSIX locks (and NFSv4 locks, by
extension) don't allow that. Since we're mapping flock locks onto v4
locks here, we have to do that check in the NFS code.

Ah, right.  Maybe that's what should be in the comment here..

Yes, good idea.  That's where someone is going to look when they investigate
why their application breaks on NFS.

Should I expect a resend?

I'll do this in a v3 of this shortly.
