When dns_transaction_complete() manages to resolve a query, it invalidates the
query candidate object. It shall not be accessed afterwards.
We have the following chain of calls:
dns_query_candidate_go → dns_transaction_go → dns_transaction_prepare → dns_cache_lookup (success: 1)
→ dns_transaction_complete
After returning back to dns_query_candidate_go(), we'd attempt to continue
iteration over the list of transactions attached to the query candidate,
accessing already freed (and overwritten) memory:
