The stopping-list management introduced by commit d3a88c1c3 ("MEDIUM:
connection: close front idling connection on soft-stop") missed two
error paths in the H1 and H2 muxes. The effect is that if a stream
or HPACK table couldn't be allocated for these incoming connections,
we would leave with the connection freed still attached to the
stopping_list and it would never leave it, resulting in use-after-free
hence either a crash or a data corruption.
This is marked as medium as it only happens under extreme memory pressure
or when playing with tune.fail-alloc. Other stability issues remain in
such a case so that abnormal behaviors cannot be explained by this bug
alone.
This must be backported to 2.4.
