[tor-commits] [tor/release-0.4.3] Preemptive circs should work with UseEntryGuards 0

[asn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

commit 39f2411b3f5ab1a50c74fdafb432d5286c451ab7
Author: Roger Dingledine <arma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    Preemptive circs should work with UseEntryGuards 0
    
    Resume being willing to use preemptively-built circuits when
    UseEntryGuards is set to 0. We accidentally disabled this feature with
    that config setting (in our fix for #24469), leading to slower load times.
    
    Fixes bug 34303; bugfix on 0.3.3.2-alpha.
