Not sure if that is useful - as I would assume the only use case for
the lock is to prevent the same Lua state being used by multiple OS
threads at the same time. IMHO it is better to remove the lua_lock() /
lua_unlock() calls altogether and require that it is the
responsibility of the application calling Lua to ensure that no two
threads can concurrently access the Lua state.
