I don't know much about these things, but I can add one piece to the puzzle: locking.tdb is used to record whole-file locks, whereas brlock.tdb is used to record byte-range locks (an SMB client updating something like a database file can ask Samba for a lock on a part of a file, while still allowing other clients access to other parts of the file).
