I have came across a possible quick-fix for people who are experiencing location wakelock. If you have tried removing suspicious apps or resetting your phone and none of them work. Try this:
Google Settings > Location > Location Reporting (Off).
You don't need to turn everything about location off (otherwise why smartphone?). I have all other location settings enabled except this location reporting. The wakelock seems to subside immediately. After observation for a several days, the wakelock does not return yet. Hopefully Google will fix this inherent problem in Kitkat version.
