We simulated the above given situation using lockf and fcntl functions to aquire
locks on files by threads on 2.6.17.6 kernel on i386 arch. We found that lockf
generates error EDEADLK which tells that :  The command was T_LOCK and this lock
 operation  would  cause  a deadlock. 
Hence the deadlock situation is already handled in this case.
Also while debugging we found that the 'posix_locks_deadlock()' function is not
looping infinitely.
