We could have

	if (reason) {
		fputs("locked", stdout);
		if (*reason) {
			fputc(" ", stdout)
			write_name_quoted(reason, stdout, line_terminator);
		} else {
			fputc(line_terminator, stdout)
		
	}

which shares the code to print "locked" but I'm not sure it is any 
bettor overall though especially as write_name_quoted() means we only 
want to output a terminator when there is no reason text.
