It used to be that if locking failed, lock_file() usually did not register the lock_file object in lock_file_list but sometimes it did. This confusion was compounded if lock_file() was called via hold_lock_file_for_append(), which has its own failure modes.
The ambiguity didn't have any ill effects, because lock_file objects cannot be removed from the lock_file_list anyway. But it is unnecessary to leave this behavior inconsistent. So change lock_file() to *always* ensure that the lock_file object is registered in lock_file_list regardless of whether an error occurs.
