drbd: fix for spurious fullsync (uuids rotated too fast)

If it was an "empty" resync, the SyncSource may have already "finished"
the resync and rotated the UUIDs, before noticing the connection loss
(and generating a new uuid, if Primary, rotating again), while the
SyncTarget did not change its uuids at all, or only got to the previous
sync-uuid.
This would then again lead to a full sync on next handshake
(see also Bug #251).

Fix:
Use explicit resync finished notification even for empty resyncs,
do not finish an empty resync implicitly on the SyncSource.
