Nope, Samba always handles full 64-bit unsigned locks internally. It
then passes down the parts that make sense to the underlying lock
system (be it 32-bit or 64-bit signed). Samba should already be doing
this. If it isn't for you then the configure test is screwing up and
telling Samba you have 64-bit signed fcntl locks when you really don't
(such as when re-exporting an NFS mount for instance).
