[PATCH 12/25] LockServer: store path to LOCKDIR literal string in a const char *

And instead of initializing to NULL, then resetting to LOCKDIR almost
immediately (before ever using the NULL value), skip directly to setting
it to LOCKDIR.

tmppath variable is only used as input for generating the path name
via calls to strlen, sprintf, etc.

Fixes gcc warning of:
utils.c: In function 'LockServer':
utils.c:259:11: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type
