api-lockfile: document edge cases

* Document the behavior of commit_lock_file() when it fails, namely
  that it rolls back the lock_file object and sets errno
  appropriately.

* Document the behavior of rollback_lock_file() when called for a
  lock_file object that has already been committed or rolled back,
  namely that it is a NOOP.
