    Fix KDC lock persistence on error conditions
    
    If k5db2_dbopen() returns an error, krb5_db2_lock() can return an
    error without unlocking the lock file.  This lock will persist until
    krb5_db2_lock() executes successfully, preventing kadmind from making
    changes to the KDB.  One possible trigger is running out of file
    descriptors.
