login: Remove double-assignment of fl.l_whence in try_file_lock

Since l_whence is the second member of struct flock, it is written
twice.  The double-assignment is technically undefined behavior due to
the lack of a sequence point.

OK. The double assignment is that we used 'fl' in the orignal code. This fix is correct.

Patch Set 1:

OK for master. Totally a typo. I'd say this is almost a trivial bug fix not requiring a review, but I'm happy to review it.
