lockfile-progs is a set of tools that lets you manage lockfiles. It is not
the thing that is causing locks. Something else must be doing that. So
what on your system is using lockfile-progs during system shutdown?

For that matter, why do you think lockfile-progs is interfering with
shutdown at all? The kinds of lockfiles that lockfile-progs manages do not
result in open file descriptors and should not prevent shutdown.
