This part looks like a no-brainer.

And this should be fine too, if we have requests that timeout (as they
hold a queue enter reference). Is it safe if there are no requests left?
Previously we would fail the enter if the queue was dying, now we won't.
Doesn't look required for the change, should probably be a separate
patch.
