   Handle a MSG_BLACKHOLE message

   This is called from two places: either we just entered a BLACKHOLE
   (stg_BLACKHOLE_info), or we received a MSG_BLACKHOLE in our
   cap->inbox.  

   We need to establish whether the BLACKHOLE belongs to
   this Capability, and 
     - if so, arrange to block the current thread on it
     - otherwise, forward the message to the right place

   Returns:
     - 0 if the blocked thread can be woken up by the caller
     - 1 if the thread is still blocked, and we promise to send a MSG_TRY_WAKEUP
       at some point in the future.
