Currently we try to guess if a compound request is going to succeed
waiting for credits or not based on the number of requests in flight.
This approach doesn't work correctly all the time because there may
be only one request in flight which is going to bring multiple credits
satisfying the compound request.
Change the behavior to fail a request only if there are no requests
in flight at all and proceed waiting for credits otherwise.
