Yes.  There's also no need for that (checked_cfl != cfl) check, though.
By the time func() returns, that lock should be gone from the list
anyway.

It's a little inefficient to have to restart the list every time--but
that theoretical n^2 behavior won't matter much compared to the time
spent waiting for clients to expire.  And this approach has the benefit
of being simple.
