Fix segment_bins corruption in dsa.c.

If a segment has been freed by dsa.c because it is entirely empty, other
backends must make sure to unmap it before following links to new
segments that might happen to have the same index number, or they could
finish up looking at a defunct segment and then corrupt the segment_bins
lists.  The correct protocol requires checking freed_segment_counter
after acquiring the area lock and before resolving any index number to a
segment.  Add the missing checks and an assertion.

Back-patch to 10, where dsa.c first arrived.
