Thanks for checking, then it indeed seems fine to just do those two
specific path moves without any extra coordination or backward compat
code required.

So for moving file paths from /var/run/ to /run/ and /var/lock/ to
/run/lock, i.e. where the actual location of the file does not change
at all due the respective pairs pointing to the exact same directory,
this series is:

Anything where the underlying directory changes is still NAK'd if it
does not come with some backward compat handling code, FWICT this is
really just the single vzdump.lock patch though.
