net/dns/resolver: allow an extra alloc for go closure allocation

Go 1.17 switches to a register ABI on amd64 platforms.
Part of that switch is that go and defer calls use an argument-less
closure, which allocates. This means that we have an extra
alloc in some DNS work. That's unfortunate but not a showstopper,
and I don't see a clear path to fixing it.
The other performance benefits from the register ABI will all
but certainly outweigh this extra alloc.

Fixes #2545
