Eliminate unnecessary call to CheckBlock (#1498)

ProcessNewBlock would return failure early if CheckBlock failed, before
calling AcceptBlock.  AcceptBlock also calls CheckBlock, and upon failure
would update mapBlockIndex to indicate that a block was failed.  By returning
early in ProcessNewBlock, we were not marking blocks that fail a check in
CheckBlock as permanently failed, and thus would continue to re-request and
reprocess them.
