qmux_init() may fail for several reasons. In this case, connection
resources are freed and underlying and a CONNECTION_CLOSE will be
emitted via its quic_conn instance.
In case of qmux_init() failure, qcc_release() is used to clean up
resources, but QCC <conn> member is first resetted to NULL, as
connection released must be delayed. Some cleanup operations are thus
skipped, one of them is the resetting of <ctx> connection member to
NULL. This may cause a crash as <ctx> is a dangling pointer after QCC
release. One of the possible reproducer is to activate QMUX traces,
which will cause a segfault on the qmux_init() error leave trace.
To fix this, simply reset <ctx> to NULL manually on qmux_init() failure.
This must be backported up to 3.0.
