[New-bugs-announce] [issue25605] fcntl doc: document exceptions raised on error for ioctl() and flock()

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

Attached patch documents the exception raised when ioctl() or flock() functions fail.

Note: flock() can also raises a ValueError if the second parameter (op) is unknown.

If the patch is approved, I will write a similar patch for Python 3 (just replace IOError with OSError in Python 3 doc).
