async_die_is_recursing: work around GCC v11.x issue on Fedora
This fix corrects an issue found in the `dockerized(pedantic, fedora)` CI build, first appearing after the introduction of a new version of the Fedora docker image version. This image includes a version of `glibc` with the attribute `__attr_access_none` added to `pthread_setspecific` [1], the implementation of which only exists for GCC 11.X - the version included in the Fedora image. The attribute requires that the pointer provided in the second argument of `pthread_getspecific` must, if not NULL, be a pointer to a valid object. In the usage in `async_die_is_recursing`, `(void *)1` is not valid, causing the error. This fix imitates a workaround added in SELinux [2] by using the pointer to the static `async_die_counter` itself as the second argument to `pthread_setspecific`. This guaranteed non-NULL, valid pointer matches the intent of the current usage while not triggering the build error.
