Sadly we ran into two separate issues.

1. the kernel mapping of the permission won't allow the lock perm to be carried through on all kernels.

I have a patch for it now, but pita

2. the release process needed some updating to uhm work with the move to git and gitlab as hosting.

So with the above issues I have come up with an alternative kernel patch that just ignores the lock perm for now. I don't like it but it will get the fix out faster, and the original reasoning to do a userspace fix is faulty so going with only a kernel fix is better.

I am going to split off the userspace lock perm and the needed kernel mapping fix to a separate bug and we will keep this one for the kernel solution that ignores lock permission requests on none fs based unix socakets.
