Hash :61262a0f Message :evdns: avoid read-after-free in evdns_request_timeout_callback()
In evdns_request_timeout_callback() in case we a giving up, we call
request_finished() which will free() req structure, however we ns from
it to fail it, so save pointer to ns to call nameserver_failed() on
them.
