[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup 5/6] datastore: verify: evict corrupt chunks from in-memory LRU cache

Chunks detected as corrupt have been renamed on both, the S3 backend
and the local datastore cache, but not evicted from the in-memory
cache containing the LRU chunk digests. This can lead to the chunks
being considered as already present if their digest is still cached,
and therefore not being re-inserted in the local store cache and S3
backend on backup upload.

Fix this by not only renaming the local datastore's chunk marker
file, but also removing it from the in-memory cache while holding the
chunk store mutex lock to exclude interference from concurrent chunk
inserts.
