I did a quick grep on other call sites, and we usually just check $@. I
don't think we need to reset $@ since cfs_lock_* either returns
something and $@ explicitly set to undef, or it returns undef with $@
explicitly set to an error message.

nope, that was just oversight. both call sites don't care about the
returned value ;)

I'll send a fixed-up v2 shortly. I think there is also at least one
wrong call in PVE::API2::Ceph and PVE::API2::Ceph::MON that I will also
take a closer look at..
