Multiple calls to `EventsWorkerStore._get_events_from_cache_or_db` can
reuse the same database fetch, which is initiated by the first call.
Ensure that cancelling the first call doesn't cancel the other calls
sharing the same database fetch.

The previous fix for the ongoing event fetches counter
(8eec25a1d9) was both insufficient and
incorrect.
When the database is unreachable, `_do_fetch` never gets run and so
`_event_fetch_ongoing` is never decremented.
The previous fix also moved the `_event_fetch_ongoing` decrement outside
of the `_event_fetch_lock` which allowed race conditions to corrupt the
counter.
Fix a long-standing bug where a batch of user directory changes would be
silently dropped if the server left a room early in the batch.

Empirically, this helped my server considerably when handling gaps in Matrix HQ. The problem was that we would repeatedly call have_seen_events for the same set of (50K or so) auth_events, each of which would take many minutes to complete, even though it's only an index scan.
