LU-4861 osc: a deadlock problem in osc completion ast

In osc_ldlm_completion_ast(), it tries to hold mutex of cl_lock
and update the lock even it's known that the lock is not granted,
this can introduce a deadlock case if the process is matching a
dlm lock with the calling stack:
  osc_lock_enqueue()
    -> osc_enqueue_base()
      -> ldlm_lock_match()
        -> osc_ldlm_completion_ast()
          -> cl_lock_mutex_get()
The enqueuing lock and the lock for completion_ast() are different
lock. This is a deadlock case because we're holding a lock's mutex
and then request the other.

It's not necessary to acquire the lock in completion_ast() if it's
known that the lock has not been granted.
