hs: Do not close desc fetch conn. if we can't pick an HSDir

Launching 7 descriptor fetches makes a connection to each HSDir that is 6
and the seventh one fails to pick an HSDir because they are all being used
already so it was killing all pending connections at once.

Fixes #15937

+  o Minor bug fix (hidden service client):
+    - Seven very fast consecutive requests to the same .onion address
+      triggers 7 descriptor fetches. The first six each pick a directory
+      (there are 6 overall) and the seventh one wasn't able to pick one
+      which was triggering a close on all current directory connections. It
+      has been fixed by not closing them if we have pending directory fetch.
+      Fixes #15937; Bugfix on tor-0.2.7.1-alpha.
