/*
* The value of slot->finished we set before the loop was used
* to set our "finished" variable when our request completed.
*
* 1. The slot may not have been reused for another requst
* yet, in which case it still has &finished.
*
* 2. The slot may already be in-use to serve another request,
* which can further be divided into two cases:
*
* (a) If call run_active_slot() hasn't been called for that
* other request, slot->finished would have been cleared
* by get_active_slot() and has NULL.
*
* (b) If the request did call run_active_slot(), then the
* call would have updated slot->finished at the beginning
* of this function, and with the clearing of the member
* below, we would find that slot->finished is now NULL.
*
* In all cases, slot->finished has no useful information to
* anybody at this point. Some compilers warn us for
* attempting to smuggle a pointer that is about to become
* invalid, i.e. &finished. We clear it here to assure them.
