Releases the lock for the specified key regardless of the lock owner. It always successfully unlocks the key,
never blocks, and returns immediately.

**Warning: This method uses __hash__ and __eq__ methods of binary form of the key, not the actual implementations
of __hash__ and __eq__ defined in key's class.**

:param key: (object), the key to lock.
