I used to do that, eventaully I deleted it because we don't need
to check in another process in this case.
Hi Xiong,

Even if the fix patch[1] has been applied, you always gets F_UNLCK without another process.

According to fcntl(2) manpage:
F_GETLK
	On  input  to this call, lock describes a lock we would like to place on the file.
	If the lock could be placed, fcntl() does not actually place it, but returns F_UNLCK
	in the l_type field of lock and leaves the other fields of the structure unchanged.

A single process can always place a new lock on the file and return F_UNLCK because the existing
lock is set by itself.

2) Remove redundant exit(0).
