Willy Tarreau 5798b5bb14 BUG/MAJOR: connection: make sure to always remove a connection from the tree
Since commit 5afcb686b ("MAJOR: connection: purge idle conn by last usage")
in 2.9-dev4, the test on conn->toremove_list added to conn_get_idle_flag()
in 2.8 by commit 3a7b539b1 ("BUG/MEDIUM: connection: Preserve flags when a
conn is removed from an idle list") becomes misleading. Indeed, now both
toremove_list and idle_list are shared by a union since the presence in
these lists is mutually exclusive. However, in conn_get_idle_flag() we
check for the presence in the toremove_list to decide whether or not to
delete the connection from the tree. This test now fails because instead
it sees the presence in the idle or safe list via the union, and concludes
the element must not be removed. Thus the element remains in the tree and
can be found later after the connection is released, causing crashes that
Tristan reported in issue #2292.

The following config is sufficient to reproduce it with 2 threads:

   defaults
        mode http
        timeout client 5s
        timeout server 5s
        timeout connect 1s

   listen front
        bind :8001
        server next 127.0.0.1:8002

   frontend next
        bind :8002
        timeout http-keep-alive 1
        http-request redirect location /

Sending traffic with a few concurrent connections and some short timeouts
suffices to instantly crash it after ~10k reqs:

   $ h2load -t 4 -c 16 -n 10000 -m 1 -w 1 http://0:8001/

With Amaury we analyzed the conditions in which the function is called
in order to figure a better condition for the test and concluded that
->toremove_list is never filled there so we can safely remove that part
from the test and just move the flag retrieval back to what it was prior
to the 2.8 patch above. Note that the patch is not reverted though, as
the parts that would drop the unexpected flags removal are unchanged.

This patch must NOT be backported. The code in 2.8 works correctly, it's
only the change in 2.9 that makes it misbehave.
