ssh-agent: improvements (#6309)
* ssh-agent: lock this script with a mkdir style mutex This script is a kind of singleton pattern and is not reentrant. If several shells are oppened in a fast sequence, then several independent ssh-agents would be created, which is not acceptable. A mutex is required.

This would trigger a error. Creating the directory would be a option, but it usually will not make sense to do so because it means the user doesn't have ssh keys or config.
