[PATCH] http-push: fail when info/refs exists and is already locked

Rationale:

Failing instead of silently not updating remote refs makes the things cleare for the user when trying to push on a repository while another person do (or while a dandling locks are waiting for a 10 minutes timeout).

When silently not updating remote refs, the user does not even know that git
has pushed the objects but leaved the refs as they were before (e.g. a new
bunch of commits on branch "master" is uploaded, however the branch by itsel
still points on the previous head commit).
