Note the /etc/neutron/neutron.conf file that ships with the latest
neutron package you have, should have the above lock_path setting
uncommented in the file. So I'm guessing that you had
an existing /etc/neutron/neutron.conf file, than wasn't
updated when you upgraded to the latest neutron package,
and you need to merge in the changes from /etc/neutron/neutron.conf.rpmnew?
I.E. The latest neutron package should be consistent on a new install,
but could have this issue on upgrade.

On a more general note, we should be aiming to provide only commented
values in the default /etc/neutron/neutron.conf, with explicit values
in /usr/share/neutron/neutron-dist.conf
This will keep users from having this particular issue,
and also be more consistent with other packages.

Also on a slightly related note I see the default /etc/neutron/neutron.conf
has signing_dir configured. Ihar wouldn't that trigger http://bugzilla.redhat.com/1050842
