[DLM] Clean up lowcomms

This fixes up most of the things pointed out by akpm and Pavel Machek
with comments below indicating why some things have been left:

When 0 is passed into nodeid2nodeinfo the function does not try to allocate a
new structure at all. it's an indication that the caller only wants the nodeinfo
struct for that nodeid if there actually is one in existance.
I've tidied the function itself so it's more obvious, (and tidier!)

Yes. it is only ever run in the context of dlm_recvd.

Yes. Only ever called by dlm_sendd.

Yep.

Not. it's only ever called at DLM shutdown after all the other threads
have been stopped.

It's just an optimisation to allow the caller to schedule if there is no work
to do. if something arrives immediately afterwards then it will get picked up
when the process re-awakes (and it will be woken by that arrival).

The 'accepting' atomic has gone completely. as Andrew pointed out it didn't
really achieve much anyway. I suspect it was a plaster over some other
startup or shutdown bug to be honest.
