It seems that lockd works in a different way lock-wise compared
to everybody else. They actually don't use lock owner to determine
conflicts and install their own owner compare that compares specially
crafted pids (duh!).
As a workaround if a custom owner compare is detected, assign pid to
owner field (not intersecting with kernel pointer space anyway).
svclock is the only place using custom owner compare function ATM.
