    dos: Clear connection tracked flag if geoip entry is removed
    
    Imagine this scenario. We had 10 connections over the 24h lifetime of a geoip
    cache entry. The lifetime of the entry has been reached so it is about to get
    freed but 2 connections remain for it. After the free, a third connection
    comes in thus making us create a new geoip entry for that address matching the
    2 previous ones that are still alive. If they end up being closed, we'll have
    a concurrent count desynch from what the reality is.
    
    To mitigate this probably very rare scenario in practice, when we free a geoip
    entry and it has a concurrent count above 0, we'll go over all connections
    matching the address and clear out the tracked flag. So once they are closed,
    we don't try to decrement the count.
