Subject: [PATCH 2/3] check for completed exception after dropped lock
To: dm-devek at redhat.com
cc: Alasdair G Kergon <agk at redhat.com>

Move allocation of alloc_pending_exception to the caller.

It is uncommon and bug-prone to drop a lock in a function that is called with
the lock held, so this is moved up.
