We could perhaps reuse the auto-save file name logic? I.e., extend
`make-auto-save-file-name' so that we can use it to compute the lock
file names, too.
Or just use the UNIIFY logic from auto-save-file-name-transforms
unconditionally...

Right; I'd forgotten that we just use the lock symlink to stash some
extra data about the locking Emacs process.
