prevcheckout_block_checkout isn't relevant here.

The use case here is that Patron A has checked out a book. Patron A has tried
to return that book, but for some reason it hasn't been properly checked in,
and it's been re-shelfed anyway. Patron B wants to borrow this book from an
unstaffed library, but the self-checkout blocks them because the book is still
checked out to Patron A.

Just a reminder that this has been running in production for a multi-branch
public library for something like 5-7 years now. 

I'll have to look at rebasing at some point...
