Subject: [1/1] connector: Bugfix for cn_call_callback()

When system under heavy stress and must allocate new work
instead of reusing old one, new work must use correct 
completion callback.

Patch is based on Philipp's and Lars' work.
I only cleaned small stuff (and removed spaces instead of tabs).
