commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=ed383f99c83b45c0b52616adb36745da36b9f281
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2020.02.x

BSD style locks such as implemented by flock are translated to POSIX
advisory file locks (implemented by the fcntl system call on Linux).  It
is not possible to lock a directory using POSIX advisory file locks.
Hence, the lock strategy used by Buildroot doesn't work when used over
NFS.

Using flock on a simple file works correctly though, so use a '.lock'
file inside the download directory instead. If the lockfile does not
exist, flock will create it (in a race-free fashion).

Tested using NFS v4.2 and Linux 5.4.43.
