   Add a POSIX style lock to a file.
   We merge adjacent &amp; overlapping locks whenever possible.
   POSIX locks are sorted by owner task, then by starting address
   </p><p>

   Note that if called with an FL_EXISTS argument, the caller may determine
   whether or not a lock was successfully freed by testing the return
   value for -ENOENT.
