dm snapshot: avoid having two exceptions for the same chunk
We need to check if the exception was completed after dropping the lock.
After regaining the lock, __find_pending_exception checks if the exception
was already placed into &s->pending hash.
But we don't check if the exception was already completed and placed into
&s->complete hash. If the process waiting in alloc_pending_exception was
delayed at this point because of a scheduling latency and the exception
was meanwhile completed, we'd miss that and allocate another pending
exception for already completed chunk.
It would lead to a situation where two records for the same chunk exist
and potential data corruption because multiple snapshot I/Os to the
affected chunk could be redirected to different locations in the
snapshot.
