Use flock() for --concurrent option
The previous locking mechanism was not atomic, hence it was possible that a killed ebtables process would leave the lock file in place which in turn made future ebtables processes wait indefinitely for the lock to become free. Fix this by using flock(). This also simplifies code quite a bit because there is no need for a custom signal handler or an __exit routine anymore.
