block: clear ctx pending bit under ctx lock
When we insert a request, we set the software queue pending bit while holding the software queue lock. However, we clear it outside of the lock, so it's possible that a concurrent insert could reset the bit after we clear it but before we empty the request list. Afterwards, the bit would still be set but the software queue wouldn't have any requests in it, leading us to do a spurious run in the future. This is mostly a benign/theoretical issue, but it makes the following change easier to justify.
