Don't wait for AAAA query response if A query response has been received

If we got IPv4 lookup response, we don't wait for IPv6 lookup
response. This is because DNS server may drop AAAA query and we have
to wait for the long time before timeout. We don't do the inverse,
because, based on todays deployment of DNS server, almost all of them
can respond A query just fine.
