Michael Haggerty 707103fdfd lockfile: avoid transitory invalid states
Because remove_lock_file() can be called any time by the signal
handler, it is important that any lock_file objects that are in the
lock_file_list are always in a valid state.  And since lock_file
objects are often reused (but are never removed from lock_file_list),
that means we have to be careful whenever mutating a lock_file object
to always keep it in a well-defined state.

This was formerly not the case, because part of the state was encoded
by setting lk->filename to the empty string vs. a valid filename.  It
is wrong to assume that this string can be updated atomically; for
example, even

    strcpy(lk->filename, value)

is unsafe.  But the old code was even more reckless; for example,

    strcpy(lk->filename, path);
    if (!(flags & LOCK_NODEREF))
            resolve_symlink(lk->filename, max_path_len);
    strcat(lk->filename, ".lock");

During the call to resolve_symlink(), lk->filename contained the name
of the file that was being locked, not the name of the lockfile.  If a
signal were raised during that interval, then the signal handler would
have deleted the valuable file!

We could probably continue to use the filename field to encode the
state by being careful to write characters 1..N-1 of the filename
first, and then overwrite the NUL at filename[0] with the first
character of the filename, but that would be awkward and error-prone.

So, instead of using the filename field to determine whether the
lock_file object is active, add a new field "lock_file::active" for
this purpose.  Be careful to set this field only when filename really
contains the name of a file that should be deleted on cleanup.

* File write-locks as used by Git.
*
* For an overview of how to use the lockfile API, please see
*
* Documentation/technical/api-lockfile.txt
*
* This module keeps track of all locked files in lock_file_list for
* use at cleanup. This list and the lock_file objects that comprise
* it must be kept in self-consistent states at all time, because the
* program can be interrupted any time by a signal, in which case the
* signal handler will walk through the list attempting to clean up
* any open lock files.
*
* A lockfile is owned by the process that created it. The lock_file
* object has an "owner" field that records its owner. This field is
* used to prevent a forked process from closing a lockfile created by
* its parent.
*
* The possible states of a lock_file object are as follows:
*
* - Uninitialized. In this state the object's on_list field must be
* zero but the rest of its contents need not be initialized. As
* soon as the object is used in any way, it is irrevocably
* registered in the lock_file_list, and on_list is set.
*
* - Locked, lockfile open (after hold_lock_file_for_update(),
* hold_lock_file_for_append(), or reopen_lock_file()). In this
* state:
* - the lockfile exists
* - active is set
* - filename holds the filename of the lockfile
* - fd holds a file descriptor open for writing to the lockfile
* - owner holds the PID of the process that locked the file
*
* - Locked, lockfile closed (after successful close_lock_file()).
* Same as the previous state, except that the lockfile is closed
* and fd is -1.
*
* - Unlocked (after commit_lock_file(), rollback_lock_file(), a
* failed attempt to lock, or a failed close_lock_file()). In this
* state:
* - active is unset
* - filename[0] == '\0' (usually, though there are transitory states
* in which this condition doesn't hold). Client code should *not*
* rely on this fact!
* - fd is -1
* - the object is left registered in the lock_file_list, and
* on_list is set.
