If I understand you right and we should set FAKE_LEVEL_II_OPLOCK to f2
on the line 3 of my example, I agree with your changes. So, as the
result for my example, we have two entries:
1) f1 - level2 oplock;
2) f2 - fake leve2 oplock.

So, in this case the check for level2_oplock_type in
contend_level2_oplocks_begin_default is correct.

I can respin my patch (move brlocks check into delay_for_oploks in
open.c) to make it according to the note above.
