There are already tmpfiles.d rules for that, /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/legacy.conf:

d /run/lock 0755 root root -
L /var/lock - - - - ../run/lock

To make it work properly for systemd, /var/lock needs to be removed
from the skeleton or point to /run/lock (or replace the "L" with "L+"
in the tmpfiles.d rule).
