Description
###Description
If a user is connected to a Junos router using CLI, enters edit mode, makes a change but does not commit (stays in edit mode) - then another user using the Napalm net.load_config function tries to make another different config change, the "LockError" message is received ok but Napalm still discards the uncommitted CLI change.

Research direction
Start with the Napalm net.load_config entry point and reproduce the Junos scenario with one user holding an uncommitted CLI edit while another submits a different change. Trace the LockError handling and verify that a failed load leaves the existing uncommitted configuration intact.
