Subject: [PATCH 11/25] dm snapshot: fix freeing pending exception

If a snapshot became invalid while there are outstanding pending_exceptions,
when pending_complete() processes each one it forgets to remove the
corresponding exception from its exception table before freeing it.

Fix this by moving the 'out:' label up one statement so that
remove_exception() is always called.  Then __invalidate_exception() no
longer needs to call it and its 'pe' argument become superfluous.
