Subject: [PATCH v2] org-persist: Fix mixing cace data from multiple Emacs
 processes

* lisp/org-persist.el (org-persist--write-elisp-file): When there is a
clash with other Emacs process while writing cache data, discard the
cache to avoid any problem.
(org-persist--refresh-gc-lock):
(org-persist--gc-orphan-p): Bail out when writing fails.
