Due to race conditions, it's possible that the caller to `pmap`/`nolink_apply` might
receive a late reply.
e.g. when a timeout occurred while resource manager was checking a resource's health:
```
19:18:23.084 [error] [data: ..., event_data: {#Reference<0.3247872820.3887857670.131018>, {:normal, [false, true, true, true, true, true]}}, event_type: :info, msg: :ignore_all_other_events, state: :connected]
```
Using an alias and also checking for the race condition in the `after` block (like
[`gen`](a76bf63197/lib/stdlib/src/gen.erl (L270-L277))
does), we avoid polluting the caller's mailbox with late replies.
