lockfile.c: make lock_file return a meaningful errno on failurei

Making errno when returning from lock_file() meaningful, which should
fix

 * an existing almost-bug in lock_ref_sha1_basic where it assumes
   errno==ENOENT is meaningful and could waste some work on retries

 * an existing bug in repack_without_refs where it prints
   strerror(errno) and picks advice based on errno, despite errno
   potentially being zero and potentially having been clobbered by
   that point
