The semaphore future may be unavailable for many reasons. Specifically,
if the task quota is depleted right between sem.wait() and the .then()
clause in get_units() the resulting future won't be available.
That is particularly visible if we decrease the task quota, since those
events will be more frequent: we can in those cases clearly see this
counter going up, even though there aren't more requests pending than
usual.
This patch improves the situation by replacing that check. We now verify
whether or not there are waiters in the semaphore.
