Ensure that buffer of freed session are not used

In a race condition an old TLS session could still try to send a packet but
also get replaced by a new session. In this case, the buffer of the new
session is still referenced. Add the check_session_buf_not_used function
to mitigate this problem.

Also make the check if the to_link pointer is in one of the memory
regions a bit better even though this not make a difference with the
way we use these structs. But better safe than sorry.

A better solution to remove the TM_INITIAL state and handle reconnecting
session in their own complete tls_multi is a more involved fix that requires
a lot more refactoring.
