QThreadPool: fix counting of waiting threads

QTBUG-21051 has a testcase where activeThreadCount() could actually
end up at -1 (converted to an autotest in this commit).
The reason was: start() calls tryStart() which returns false due to
too many active threads (reserveThread() causes this), so it calls
enqueueTask() - which actually wakes up the waiting thread, but
it didn't decrement the number of waiting threads.

Note that tryStart() is "if I can grab a waiting thread, enqueue task and wake it"
while start(), in case tryStart() fails, wants to "enqueue, and then if I can grab
a waiting thread, wake it". This is why enqueue shouldn't wake; waking must happen
only if we can grab a thread (d->waitingThreads > 0).

Task-number: QTBUG-21051
Backport from qtbase/dacf9961da86751a59da0e84bc943fe0d1c8d95b
