[SPARK-17316][CORE] Make CoarseGrainedSchedulerBackend.removeExecutor non-blocking

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

StandaloneSchedulerBackend.executorRemoved is a blocking call right now. It may cause some deadlock since it's called inside StandaloneAppClient.ClientEndpoint.

This PR just changed CoarseGrainedSchedulerBackend.removeExecutor to be non-blocking. It's safe since the only two usages (StandaloneSchedulerBackend and YarnSchedulerEndpoint) don't need the return value).

## How was this patch tested?

Jenkins unit tests.
