Belpeople insist on grabbing GPU lock with no GPU hardware and GPU-off flags

[ribasushi]

I am running a lotus miner on a GPU-less machine with: BELLMAN_NO_GPU=1 lotus-miner run --enable-gpu-proving=false

Regardless I still get /tmp/bellman.gpu.lock being exlock-ed ( discovered due to incorrect permissions on said file leading to sealing failures )

Bellperson should not do GPU-related things when told not to.

fml... there's also /tmp/bellman.priority.lock

General lock is for use of the GPU. Priority lock is to kick lower-priority processes off the GPU. Why do we lock when no GPU being used? Great question. How about 'historical reasons'. This will probably see change in the 'relatively near future'.
