DRA: fix scheduler/resource claim controller race
There was a race caused by having to update claim finalizer and status in two different operations: - Resource claim controller removes allocation, does not yet get to remove the finalizer. - Scheduler prepares an allocation, without adding the finalizer because it's there. - Controller removes finalizer. - Scheduler adds allocation. This is an invalid state. Automatic checking found this during the execution of the "with translated parameters on single node.*supports sharing a claim sequentially" E2E test, but only when run stand-alone. When running in parallel (as in the CI), the bad outcome of the race did not occur. The fix is to check that the finalizer is still set when adding the allocation. The apiserver doesn't check that because it doesn't know which finalizer goes with the allocation result. It could check for "some finalizer", but that is not guaranteed to be correct (could be some unrelated one). Checking the finalizer can only be done with a JSON patch. Despite the complications, having the ability to add multiple pods concurrently to ReservedFor seems worth it (avoids expensive rescheduling or a local retry loop). The resource claim controller doesn't need this, it can do a normal update which implicitly checks ResourceVersion.
