> Before assigning region in ServerShutdownHandler#process, it will check whether region is in RIT,
> however, this checking doesn't work as the excepted in the following case:
> 1.move region A from server B to server C
> 2.kill server B
> 3.start server B immediately
> Let's see what happen in the code for the above case
> {code}
> for step1:
> 1.1 server B close the region A,
> 1.2 master setOffline for region A,(AssignmentManager#setOffline:this.regions.remove(regionInfo))
> 1.3 server C start to open region A.(Not completed)
> for step3:
> master ServerShutdownHandler#process() for server B
> {
> ..
> splitlog()
> ...
> List<RegionState> regionsInTransition =
>         this.services.getAssignmentManager()
>         .processServerShutdown(this.serverName);
> ...
> Skip regions that were in transition unless CLOSING or PENDING_CLOSE
> ...
> assign region
> }
> {code}
> In fact, when running ServerShutdownHandler#process()#this.services.getAssignmentManager().processServerShutdown(this.serverName), region A is in RIT (step1.3 not completed), but the return List<RegionState> regionsInTransition doesn't contain it, because region A has removed from AssignmentManager.regions by AssignmentManager#setOffline in step 1.2
> Therefore, region A will be assigned twice.
> Actually, one server killed and started twice will also easily cause region assigned twice.
> Exclude the above reason, another probability : 
> when execute ServerShutdownHandler#process()#MetaReader.getServerUserRegions ,region is included which is in RIT now.
> But after completing MetaReader.getServerUserRegions, the region has been opened in other server and is not in RIT now.
> In our testing environment where balancing,moving and killing are executed periodly, assigning region twice often happens, and it is hateful because it will affect other test cases.
