With your change, we do not check the return status from close(2)
anymore, which means that we may have run out of diskspace without
noticing and renamed the incomplete file into the real place. Oops?
At least the original code wouldn't have had that problem.
The right fix in the longer term would be to check the return value from
the close(2) in commit_lock_file(), but it currently does not check on
purpose, because the callers may have already closed the fd.
