sched/backfill - avoid starting requeued job
If a job is started by the main scheduling logic and requeued while the backfill scheduler has locks released, that can result in an invalid data structure in select/cons_res. Namely, the backfill scheduler's attempt to start the job would clear the job resources node_bitmap. That leaves a NULL pointer in the select/cons_res plugin generating an abort. (That pointer is needed to clean up the job allocation records when the Epilog or Cray Node Health Check, NHC, are complete and the resources become available for another job. bug 3230
