[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Fix error message for rpmlock (#355), by removing dead code (#358)

[Jeff Johnson]

I should point out that this is not "dead code" since the existence of a fcntl(2) read lock will prevent a write lock even if rpm itself does not expose the API to test read locks.

That being said: your change is entirely sane, the fcntl(2) locking in RPM is badly flawed, made worse by permission checking on 0755 root:root permissions on /var/lib/rpm files. Until the permission problems are reasonably dealt with, your patch is as good as anything else.
