After asynchronously fetching shard information the gateway allocator issues a reroute via a cluster state update task. #11421 introduced an optimization trying to avoid submitting unneeded reroutes when results for many shards come in together. This is done by having a rerouting flag, indicating a pending reroute is coming and thus any new incoming shard info doesn't need to issue a reroute. This flag wasn't reset upon an error in the reroute update task. Most notably - if a master node had to step during to a min_master_node violation, it could reject an ongoing reroute. Lacking to reset the flag causing it to skip any future reroute, when the node became master again.
Closes#11519
Since we are creating write.lock earlier now, blob store shouldn't attempt deleting this file during clean up at the end of the restore process. The file is locked and the blog store doesn't succeed, but it generates a lot of useless warnings "failed to delete file [write.lock] during snapshot cleanup".
Closes#11517
