The issue described in OCTRL-953 occurs when we schedule kill of a task and while waiting for an acknowledgment, we receive two mesos updates:
Which then trigger the discussed ack.
Since it's inclear to me whether we can surely ignore TASK_LOST and trust that we will always receive either TASK_FAILED or TASK_FINISHED, I went for the approach of improving safeAcks to produce an error when subsequent acks are sent instead of blocking some goroutines.
