lockfile: Remove force parameter from hold_lock()

Browse source 
If user wants to 'force' a lock, he/she will have to remove the file
manually. some wierd race conditions may happen if different processes optains the
same lock at any given time (thats why lockfile is implemented in the first place)
So lockfile API should not in any circumstances directly provide a way to force taking a lock.
