I chose EBADF because the fcntl code uses it for similar purposes. From
the manpage:
EBADF cmd is F_SETLK or F_SETLKW and the file descriptor open
mode doesn't match with the type of lock requested.
We're requesting a "lock" here in a delegation, so this made some sense
to me. I'm not particular here though. If another error makes more
sense, then that's fine.
