Yes. Checking DLM_RECO_STATE_ACTIVE would introduce the dead lock you 
described.  I don't see the need we have to set this flag before picking 
up the recovery master(till now the remaster locks not started yet). We 
may think of setting this flag only when the node become the really 
recovery master. While this may be a separate change.
For your change, seems you changed the use of xxx_FINALIZE(making it 
also can set on recovery master). you'd better add some comment for that.

When the new recovery master is sending the RECO_BEGIN message, another node x may be trying to become the recovery master in dlm_pick_recovery_master(), at there, DLM_RECO_STATE_ACTIVE had been set before in dlm_do_recovery(), so the RECO_BEGIN message handler dlm_pick_recovery_master() can not be executed, then dlm->reco.new_master will not be set, so node x will loop in dlm_pick_recovery_master() forever.

> Seems DLM_RECO_STATE_FINALIZE is used to track the situation that the recovery master(node 0) dead (just) after it had finished the dlm recovery. So that the original dead node(node 1) needed not be recovered again. This flag is set only on non recovery master nodes.
> In this case, things looks like the recovery master reset "recover_master" and "dead node" after another node(node 2) had started to recover another dead node(node 3). This would happen only on the "old" recovery master(node 0). Note this flag DLM_RECO_STATE_ACTIVE, it's set only on master when it begins to recover and cleared when recovery finished. For an "old" master, checking DLM_RECO_STATE_ACTIVE makes sense. I'd like to suggest:
