You can go through the whole list looking for non-existent PIDs and
delete all those, or you can delete just the active lock as that is the
one preventing the others from proceeding.

I.e., delete the active lock (assuming its PID is gone) and some waiting
processes may proceed. In any case, a new lock will become active.
Repeat that until no locks remain.

If at some point you are left with only the a2-16v-list.lock and no
a2-16v-list.lock.pogo.PID.* files, you can just remove a2-16v-list.lock,
or I think if you don't, it will be automatically removed the next time
a process locks and unlocks the a2-16v-list list.
