Presently, even if a job is canceled post-completion as a result of
a failing peer in a transaction, it will still call .commit because
nothing has updated or changed its return code.
The reason why this does not cause problems currently is because
backup's implementation of .commit checks for cancellation itself.
I'd like to simplify this contract:
(1) Abort is called if the job/transaction fails
(2) Commit is called if the job/transaction succeeds
To this end: A job's return code, if 0, will be forcibly set as
-ECANCELED if that job has already concluded. Remove the now
redundant check in the backup job implementation.
We need to check for cancellation in both block_job_completed
AND block_job_completed_single, because jobs may be cancelled between
those two calls; for instance in transactions.
The check in block_job_completed could be removed, but there's no
point in starting to attempt to succeed a transaction that we know
in advance will fail.
This does NOT affect mirror jobs that are "canceled" during their
synchronous phase. The mirror job itself forcibly sets the canceled
property to false prior to ceding control, so such cases will invoke
the "commit" callback.
