    scripts: Use stat to check lock claim
    
    Replace the perl locking check with stat(1).  Stat is able to fstat
    stdin (file descriptor 0) when passed '-' as an argument.  This is now
    used to check $_lockfd.  stat(1) support for '-' was introduced to
    coreutils in 2009.
    
    After A releases its lock, script B will return from flock and execute
    stat.  Since the lockfile has been removed by A, stat prints an error to
    stderr and exits non-zero.  Redirect stderr to /dev/null to avoid
    filling /var/log/xen/xen-hotplug.log with "No such file or directory"
    messages.
    
    Placing the stat call inside the "if" condition ensures we only check
    the stat output when the command completed successfully.
    
    This change removes the only runtime dependency of the xen toolstack on
    perl.
