 File locking does not work on volumes mounted using AFP on Mac OS X 10.5

 django/core/files/locks.py assumes that the presence of fcntl module
 implies a posix system and that for a posix system fcntl.lockf works for
 every file accessible on the file system.
 This is not the case on a Mac OS X box for files on a volume mounted using
 AFP:

 {{{
 [taquet:~] iihm% uname -mprs
 Darwin 9.5.0 Power Macintosh powerpc
 [taquet:~] iihm% python
 Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 17 2008, 19:35:16)

 >>> import django
 >>> django.VERSION
 (1, 0, 'final')
 >>> from django.core.files import locks
 >>> f = open("/Volumes/Web/test.txt", "w")
 >>> locks.lock(f, locks.LOCK_EX)
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/django/core/files/locks.py",
 line 57, in lock
     fcntl.lockf(fd(file), flags)
 IOError: [Errno 45] Operation not supported
 }}}

 A workaround is to revert [8675].
 I know this is not acceptable since it fixes #8403, but it is still a fact
 that from a Mac OS X user perspective, [8675] introduce a regression.
