Since one of the main purposes of closing would be the error testing of 
writes that haven't made it out yet on filesystems like NFS that do 
open-close cache serialization, I'd suggest doing this as

	int close_lock_file(struct lock_file *lk)
	{
		int fd = lk->fd;
		lk->df = -1;
		return close(fd);
	} 

to give the return code.
