#834: Varnish sends health checks to backends after backend was removed with a
config reload

--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
 I noticed this on a production cluster, where we were removing backends
 from the varnish config, and issued a config reload. Requests no longer go
 to the removed backends, but varnish is still sending health checks.
