Rewrite ready-key UAF fix with rotation-based iteration

[enjoy-binbin]

Rework handleClientsBlockedOnKey to re-walk the live blocking
list each round and advance via listRotateHeadToTail, instead
of snapshotting client ids and re-resolving them.

The original fix (#4212) was somewhat complex and difficult to
read, rewrite it in a simpler way.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

handleClientsBlockedOnKey now processes the live blocked-client list directly. It re-resolves the blocking-key entry on each bounded iteration, rotates the head client to the tail, and removes the obsolete client lookup helper and ID-array cleanup.

Changes

Blocked-client processing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Bounded live-list traversal src/blocked.c	handleClientsBlockedOnKey re-resolves the blocking-key entry, processes the current head client, rotates it to the tail, and stops when the entry disappears. The private client lookup helper and ID snapshot cleanup were removed.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 55f5a

This is a localized implementation rewrite with no actionable merge-blocking risk remaining beyond normal checks and review.
