Description
When loading a QLR file QGIS locks the parent directory. This lock is not released before QGIS is closed.
Imagine a qlr at the path
c:\\test\\file.qlr
When this file is loaded you cannot move or rename c:\\test before QGIS has been closed.
This happens both when the QLR is loaded through the menu item "Layer -> Add from layer definition file..." and when the python binding "QgsLayerDefinition.loadLayerDefinition(path, group)" is used.
Affected versions are 2.14, 2.12 and possibly earlier also.

Hurray, I have tested with QGIS 2.18.13 and it has been fixed :)
Now, I can add a qlr-file to QGIS and afterwards I'm allowed to change to foldername where the qlr-file is located.
Thanks a lot for the fix.
