The log should get less noisy in the next release.

2409.   [bug]           Only log that we disabled EDNS processing if we were
                        subsequently successful.  [RT #18029]

Currently the log indicated when we have disabled EDNS processing
due to timeouts.  Mis-handling of EDNS queries or the responses are
not the only cause of timeouts.

Note just about all versions of named disable EDNS processing on
timeout.  This however impacts on DNSSEC processing as DNSSEC
requires EDNS.

The log message is there to highlight potential problems.
