[PATCH alsa-utils 2/2] alsactl: Fix race at creating a lock file

[Takashi Iwai]

A race at creating a lock file in state_lock() was discovered
recently: namely, between the first open(O_RDWR) and the second
open(O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL) calls, another alsactl invocation may
already create a lock file, then the second open() will return EEXIST,
which isn't handled properly and treated as a fatal error.

In this patch, we check EEXIST case and try again open() with O_RDWR.
This must succeed usually, and if it fails, handle finally as the
fatal error.
