[PATCH] locking/atomics: Use sed(1) instead of non-standard head(1) option

From: Michael Forney
Date: Tue Jun 18 2019 - 03:24:32 EST


POSIX says the -n option must be a positive decimal integer. Not all
implementations of head(1) support negative numbers meaning offset from
the end of the file.

Instead, the sed expression '$d' has the same effect of removing the
last line of the file.
