Christopher Faulet 9ed1a0601d BUG/MEDIUM: resolvers: Track api calls with a counter to free resolutions
The kill list introduced in commit f766ec6b5 ("MEDIUM: resolvers: use a kill
list to preserve the list consistency") contains a bug. The deatch_row must
be initialized before calling resolv_process_responses() function. However,
this function is called for the dns code. The death_row is not visible from
the outside. So, it is possible to add a resolution in an uninitialized
death_row, leading to a crash.

But, with the current implementation, it is not possible to handle the
death_row in resolv_process_responses() function because, internally, the
kill list may be freed via a call to resolv_unlink_resolution(). At the end,
we are unable to determine all call chains to guarantee a safe use of the
kill list. It is a shameful observation, but unfortunatly true.

So, to make the fix simple, we track all calls to the public resolvers
api. A counter is incremented when we enter in the resolver code and
decremented when we leave it. This way, we are able to track the recursions
to init and release the kill list only once, at the edge.

Following functions are incrementing/decrementing the recurse counter:

  * resolv_trigger_resolution()
  * resolv_srvrq_expire_task()
  * resolv_link_resolution()
  * resolv_unlink_resolution()
  * resolv_detach_from_resolution_answer_items()
  * resolv_process_responses()
  * process_resolvers()
  * resolvers_finalize_config()
  * resolv_action_do_resolve()

This patch should fix the issue #1404. It must be backported everywhere the
above commit was backported.
