commit 8268e030235b6cb5e6288a53133bba1faa9e63b1

    s3 docs: Reword posix locking text to answer a common question
    
    vl recently pointed me to a valid reason to use posix locking = no.
    Fix the smb.conf manpage to explain this reason, as this question
    comes up on the samba mailing list from time to time as well.
    (cherry picked from commit fd17979293ecb37bdb16c5078fefb3f63cfb3730)
