Cluster: claim ping_sent time even if we can't connect.

This fixes a potential bug that was never observed in practice since
what happens is that the asynchronous connect returns ok (to fail later,
calling the handler) every time, so a ping is queued, and sent_ping
happens to always be populated.

Howver technically connect(2) with a non blocking socket may return an
error synchronously, so before this fix the code was not correct.
