Description:
------------
flock() does not initialize the wouldblock argument when present and it succeeds locking, even when non-blocking locking is requested.

It is also failing when wouldblock argument is not present but  non blocking locking is requested and flock() system call returns EWOULDBLOCK. This is a minor issue.

This patch should fix both issues:

        if (flock(fd, act)) {

                } else {
                        RETURN_FALSE;
!               }
        }

!               }
        }
        RETURN_TRUE;
  }


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
 
        if(!($file=(fopen("testfile","w")))) die("could not open file");
        if(flock($file,6,&$wouldblock))
                echo "flock succeed, wouldblock ",serialize($wouldblock),"\n";
        else
                echo "flock failed\n";
        fclose($file);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
flock succeed, wouldblock i:0;

Actual result:
--------------
flock succeed, wouldblock N;
