Thanks for simplifying the compound_send_recv() and adding the
timeout. Although 60sec seems rather big interval, until we have
sequential fallback, it is the best we can do I guess.

The code above could also be moved into wait_for_free_credits() to
make compound_send_recv() even smaller.

Why removing this? We obtained credits and increased the number of
requests in flight but are about to return without sending the request
- need to return those credits back and adjust the number of requests
in flight.

I understand it may be confusing because the session changed and
add_credits won't actually add any credits *but* it will adjust the
number of requests in flight and possibly re-balance the remaining
credits in the current session, thus it is still needed to call
add_credits for all parts of compound chain here.
