Usually setting blocked_ means that the queue is not empty or it's
empty, but the resume() hasn't been called yet. To put it another
way, it means that the objects ahead of the queue
(e.g. Queue::target_) aren't ready process packets, so the queue must
hang on, until the callback handler is called thus invoking resume().
