Lingao Meng 5b9707cb5c fs/hostfs: Handle POSIX byte-range locks
fcntl(F_GETLK/F_SETLK/F_SETLKW) is handled by VFS and reaches file
systems as private FIOC_* ioctl commands. hostfs previously forwarded
those private ioctl command numbers to the host ioctl backend, which is
not the POSIX file-locking interface and cannot be interpreted by the
host OS.

Keep hostfs on the generic host_ioctl() path and define the FIOC_* lock
command values in the hostfs host ABI. The POSIX sim backend recognizes
those commands in host_ioctl() and translates struct flock fields to the
host ABI before calling host fcntl(). Other hostfs backends keep their
existing unsupported-host-ioctl behavior.

F_SETLKW is implemented in the POSIX sim backend by retrying
non-blocking host F_SETLK with a short sleep. This preserves the
blocking NuttX API without forwarding host F_SETLKW directly.

Testing:

  - Host: Ubuntu 22.04 x86_64.

  - Board/config: sim:nsh with CONFIG_FS_HOSTFS=y,
    CONFIG_SIM_HOSTFS=y and CONFIG_EXAMPLES_SIM_POSIX=y.

  - make -j16.

  - Ran examples/sim_posix from nuttx-apps. The test mounted a long
    /tmp hostfs path, opened a host-backed file, and verified
    fcntl(F_SETLK), fcntl(F_GETLK), fcntl(F_SETLKW), and unlocking with
    F_UNLCK. The app printed "sim_posix: hostfs locks ok" and
    "sim_posix: PASS".
