shutdown-backup-sessions action for on-marked-up directive does not work anymore since the stream_shutdown() function was modified to be async-safe. When stream_shutdown() was modified to be async-safe, dedicated task events were added to map the reasons to shut a stream down. SF_ERR_DOWN was mapped to TASK_F_EVT1 and SF_ERR_KILLED was mapped to TASK_F_EVT2. The reverse mapping was performed by process_stream() to shut the stream with the appropriate reason. However, SF_ERR_UP reason, used by shutdown-backup-sessions action to shut a stream down because a preferred server became available, was not mapped in the same way. So since commit b8e3b0a18d ("BUG/MEDIUM: stream: make stream_shutdown() async-safe"), this action is ignored and does not work anymore. To fix an issue, and being able to bakcport the fix, a third task event was added. TASK_F_EVT3 is now mapped on SF_ERR_UP. This patch should fix the issue #2848. It must be backported as far as 2.6.
