kernel - Fix SMP race against fp seek position lock
* Fix a SMP race against write-appends. Atomic ops are used on the
struct file->f_flag field to interlock write-append operations.
However, the fcntl() and flock() code was also modifying file->f_flag
using non-atomic ops.
* Fix fcntl() and flock() to use atomic ops.
* Problem could lead to processes stuck forever in "fpoff".
