AsyncRequestsSender can block network threads during construction

      • The AsyncRequestsSender holds a lock during construction and work scheduling.
      • This lock prevents callbacks from running if their response comes back during scheduling.
      • Scheduling can take a long time (up to 20 seconds per shard) if a read preference cannot be satisfied. This is done by a blocking call into the ReplicaSetMonitor

      The bad sequence of events is:

      1. Scatter gather request to two shards is dispatched
      2. The first host suceeds in targetting and runs
      3. The second host cannot satisfy it's read pref, blocking holding a lock
      4. The first request suceeds, blocking in running _handleResponse

      If you have enough of those, you can saturate all background networking workers, making your mongos completely unresponsive until targeting can succeed.
