[Bug libc/10814] New: utmp locking uses alarm() which can't fully restore timer

["did447 at gmail dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Hi,

A timer set with a non null it_interval via setitimer() is corrupted after a
call to utmp functions.

Maybe LOCK_FILE could use setitimer() rather than alarm() ?
