Well, I'm not sure if this is indeed the right question. Sending
dlm_controld a TERM signal is an indication that dlm_controld should
seriously try shutting itself down and should only ignore the request
if it really must. This surely includes removing the default
lockspace, but also lockspaces that don't have active locks; I'm not
so sure about lockspaces with active locks.

It's a design deficiency that dlm_controld doesn't know which
lockspaces are currently in use by any applications; with this
knowledge, it could recycle unused lockspaces after a while.
