bitbake: server/process: Fix a rare lockfile race

We're seeing rare occasional races on the autobuilder as if two server
processes have the lockfile at the same time. We need to be extremely
careful this does not happen.

I think there is a potential race in this shutdown code since we delete
the lockfile, then call unlockfile() which also tries to delete it.

This means we may remove a lock file now held by another process if we're
unlucky. Since unlockfile removes the lockfile when it can, just rely on
that and remove any possible race window.

An example cooker-deamonlog:

No timeout, exiting.
Exiting

where it looks like there are two server processes running which should not be.
In that build there was a process left sitting in memory with its bitbake.sock file
missing but holding the lock (not sure why it wouldn't timeout/exit).
