1) According to fcntl(2) manpage, A single process always gets F_UNLCK in the l_type field when using fcntl(F_GETLK) to acquire the existing lock set by itself because it could convert the existing lock to a new lock unconditionally. So we need another process to check if the lock exists. 2) Remove redundant exit(0).
