[Bug 1315507] [NEW] Attempts to lock pid files should be non-blocking

 

Public bug reported:

When another process already has an exclusive lock on a pid file
subsequent attempts to lock will block indefinitely. This is problematic
when this happens in e.g the ns-metadata-proxy. When the ns-metadata-
proxy blocks on locking its pid file the l3-agent will not be able to
bring up any of the router's interfaces.
