Comment tst-ofdlocks-compat expected failure in some Linux releases

As pointed out in a libc-alpha thread [1], the misc/tst-ofdlocks-compat
may fail in some specific Linux releases.  This patch adds a comment
along with a link to discussion in the test source code.

No changes are expected.

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-ofdlocks-compat.c: Add a comment about
	a kernel issue which lead to test failure in some cases.
