Remove one-instance-lock mechanism

This commit removes DLT's "one-instance-lock" mechanism.
In daemonized mode, on first instance, a file is created (if not
already created) and locked. If second instance is attempted
file locking fails since the file is already locked by first instance.
This prevents new instance of the DLT daemon. After analysis
its found that there is no need of any mechanism for prevention
of another instance. The same is already taken care by socket
mechanism. Since main socket is created by first instance, attempt
to create it again with same port number fails.
