Short description

I finally managed to reliably reproduce the "negative outstanding counter" issue by setting setMaxUDPOutstanding() to a very low value and overloading the backend, causing dnsdist to do a lot of "active state reuses".
This PR tries harder to detect whether another thread has been reusing the state, making sure that we don't decrement the outstanding counter twice.
