Remove the inventory bonus raise on the armor inventory event

on_player_armor_inventory_changed for the restored armor is raised at
the end of the download's tick, after the inventory bonus of the armor's
equipment applied, so the raise is removed there instead of in the next
tick's on_tick. The raise is only made for armor with a grid, as the
event needs the armor to be restored.

A player leaving on the tick of a download no longer has the raise
removed from the character first, which shrank the main inventory
before the bonus applied and spilled the extra slots. The raise is
taken off the uploaded inventory bonus instead.
