NLM: don't requeue block if it was invalidated while GRANT_MSG was in flight

It's possible for lockd to catch a SIGKILL while a GRANT_MSG callback
is in flight. If this happens we don't want lockd to insert the block
back into the nlm_blocked list.

This helps that situation, but there's still a possible race. Fixing
that will mean adding real locking for nlm_blocked.
