The way the ns_client_t .shuttingdown member was practically dead code.
The .shuttingdown would be set to true only in ns__client_put() function
meaning that we have detached from all ns_client_t .*handles and the
ns_client_t object being freed:
Even if the isc_nmhandle_detach(...) was the last handle detach, it
would mean that immediatelly, after calling the isc_nmhandle_detach(),
we would be causing use-after-free, because the ns_client_t is
immediatelly destroyed after setting .shuttingdown to true.
The similar code in the query_hookresume() already noticed this:
/*
* This event is running under a client task, so it's safe to detach
* the fetch handle. And it should be done before resuming query
* processing below, since that may trigger another recursion or
* asynchronous hook event.
