Description

With some of the latest code additions. It appears reservations can be picked up a second time during vcld's initial fetch of requests that need to be processed.

The routine update_request_state gets called in the State.pm module to update a reservation to pending, which after loading several other prov/OS modules for a request, the loop in vcld can pick up the same request and try to process again.

So for non-cluster reservations, add a call to update_request_state in vcld before forking. Cluster requests will still likely need to be updated from the State.pm module.
