I moved the call to delete lkey from owners in meta/redis_lock.go so that flock would support converting an EXCLUSIVE lock to a SHARED lock for the same owner. As originally implemented, if there is any WRITE lock, then the lock operation should return EAGAIN which is problematic for calls that are not explicitly non-blocking intended to convert an EXCLUSIVE lock to a SHARED lock. I've been coming across blocking lock "downgrade" scenarios for database software.
