If x25_wait_for_connection_establishment() returns because of an interrupting
signal, we are not going to call x25_disconnect().

The case you are fixing only applies _sometimes_ when
x25_wait_for_connection_establishment() returns.  But not always.

That neighbour has to be released at this spot otherwise.
