A node sends an unlock request to master and receives a response. Before processing the response it receives a BAST from the master. Since both requests are processed by different threads it creates a race. While the BAST is being processed, lock can get freed by unlock code. This patch makes bast to return immediately if lock is found but unlock is pending. The code should handle this race. We also have to fix master node to skip sending BAST after receiving unlock message.
