ocfs2/cluster: close a race that fence can't be triggered

When some nodes of cluster face with TCP connection fault, ocfs2 will
pick up a quorum to continue to work and other nodes will be fenced by
resetting host.

In order to decide which node should be fenced, ocfs2 leverages
o2quo_state::qs_holds.  If that variable is reduced to zero, then a try
to decide if fence local node is performed.  However, under a specific
scenario that local node is not disconnected from others at the same
time, above method has a problem to reduce ::qs_holds to zero.

Because, o2net 90s idle timer corresponding to different nodes is
triggered one after another.

  node 2 node 3
  90s idle timer elapses
  clear ::qs_conn_bm
  set hold
40s is passed
90 idle timer elapses
clear ::qs_conn_bm
set hold
  still up timer elapses
  clear hold (NOT to zero )
  90s idle timer elapses AGAIN
still up timer elapses.
clear hold
still up timer elapses

To solve this issue, a node which has already be evicted from
::qs_conn_bm can't set hold again and again invoked from idle timer.
