Avoid self-suppression on grouped action listener (#53262)

It can be that a failure is repeated to a grouped action listener. For
example, if the same exception such as a connect transport exception, is
the cause of repeated failures. Previously we were unconditionally
self-suppressing the exception into the first exception, but
self-supressing is not allowed. Thus, we would throw an exception and
the grouped action listener would never complete. This commit addresses
this by guarding against self-suppression.
