Comment (by bbrooks):

 Yeah, the function is hard to name because honestly the whole logic of
 unlocking posts is less-than-intuitive. To unlock a post, you merely set
 the lock to a time in the past almost as long as the 'timeout due to
 inactivity' criteria in the lock mechanism.

 That said, 'expire' might be a better verb. How about
 "wp_expire_post_lock"?

 If, however, we're not concerned with the name reflecting the mechanism,
 it should really just be wp_lock_post and wp_unlock_post.
