Add an fcntl_lock function implementing fcntl-style process-associated locking. Currently this only supports locking the entire file.

How about if cfg!(target_pointer_width = "32") { __NR_fcntl64 } else { __NR_fcntl } here and dedup the blocks?

Unfortunately syscall_readonly! is a macro that does special things with the first parameter and needs it to be a __NR_* literal.

Feels like we could rely on core::mem::zeroed() also handling the zero-init for the other members?

Setting l_len to zero is a special case in the documented behavior of fcntl, so I like keeping it explicit. I've now added more comments about this though.
