It might look cleaner with the following changes:
- adopt smc_lgr_cleanup_early() to take only an lgr as parameter and remove the call to smc_conn_free()
- change smc_conn_abort() (which is the only caller of smc_lgr_cleanup_early() right now), always
  call smc_conn_free() and if (local_first) additionally call smc_lgr_cleanup_early() 
  (hold a local copy of the lgr for this call)
- finally call smc_lgr_cleanup_early(lgr) from smc_conn_create()

This should be the same processing, but the smc_conn_free() is moved to smc_conn_abort() where
it looks to be a better place for this call. And smc_lgr_cleanup_early() takes only care of an lgr.

What do you think? Did I miss something?
