Close previous block queriers on error

This ensures we close all previously opened queriers if on of the block
querier fails to open.
Also swap in new blocks before closing old ones to avoid the situation
in general. Make read locking of blocks more conservative to avoid
unnecessary retries by clients, e.g. when blocks are getting closed
before we can successfully instantiate querier against them.
