        clm: avoid stale node down processing and unexpected track callback 
[#1120]
        There is a possiblity that the checkpointing message for a NODE_DOWN 
reaches
        the STANDBY first, i.e. before the MDS delivers the NODE_DOWN event the 
the
        standby. This can result in stale node_down record getting stored in the
        node_down list which is a designated list for processing of node downs 
that
        occur during role change from standby to active. The patch introduces a
        variable that checks whether the checkpoint event for node_down has 
arrived
        first, followed by a check during role change to ignore such stale 
events.


Thanks to HansN for suggesting the possibility of this theory. This is an 
extremely
rare scenario.

Testing Commands:
-----------------
Trigger random reboots of payloads. Follow these events with switchovers & 
failovers.
There should not be any unrelated track callbacks being generated.

Testing, Expected Results:
--------------------------
Same as above.
At this point of time, i havenot been able to simulate the scenario. 
My bigger interest is to protecting regression also. The fix is rather simple 
as well.

Reviewer Checklist:
-------------------
[Submitters: make sure that your review doesn't trigger any checkmarks!]


Your checkin has not passed review because (see checked entries):

___ Your RR template is generally incomplete; it has too many blank entries
    that need proper data filled in.

___ You have failed to nominate the proper persons for review and push.

___ Your patches do not have proper short+long header

___ You have grammar/spelling in your header that is unacceptable.

___ You have exceeded a sensible line length in your headers/comments/text.

___ You have failed to put in a proper Trac Ticket # into your commits.

___ You have incorrectly put/left internal data in your comments/files
    (i.e. internal bug tracking tool IDs, product names etc)

___ You have not given any evidence of testing beyond basic build tests.
    Demonstrate some level of runtime or other sanity testing.

___ You have ^M present in some of your files. These have to be removed.

___ You have needlessly changed whitespace or added whitespace crimes
    like trailing spaces, or spaces before tabs.

___ You have mixed real technical changes with whitespace and other
    cosmetic code cleanup changes. These have to be separate commits.

___ You need to refactor your submission into logical chunks; there is
    too much content into a single commit.

___ You have extraneous garbage in your review (merge commits etc)

___ You have giant attachments which should never have been sent;
    Instead you should place your content in a public tree to be pulled.

___ You have too many commits attached to an e-mail; resend as threaded
    commits, or place in a public tree for a pull.

___ You have resent this content multiple times without a clear indication
    of what has changed between each re-send.

___ You have failed to adequately and individually address all of the
    comments and change requests that were proposed in the initial review.

___ You have a misconfigured ~/.hgrc file (i.e. username, email etc)

___ Your computer have a badly configured date and time; confusing the
    the threaded patch review.

___ Your changes affect IPC mechanism, and you don't present any results
    for in-service upgradability test.

___ Your changes affect user manual and documentation, your patch series
    do not contain the patch that updates the Doxygen manual.
