Wait, Peter, this lock is set via ioctl call on the fd obtained from
open(ptmx) call, so i fail to see how one can setup such lock without
having fd on the hands. When we do checkpoint the processes we expect
the user passes us the pid of process which is the leader not some
subtree (we can deal with process subtrees too but it is not
encouraged ;)
