I'm not sure it matters. call->error can only be set by the I/O thread and
only if a call fails - in which case the call state will be set shortly
thereafter - plus a couple of places where we fail to set the call up, in
which case we're under the call's user_mutex or didn't even manage to fully
allocate it.

That said, I probably should check the call state first. I might also want to
ignore any signal if the call did manage to get connected, lest I leave it
dangling - a problem might come if userspace issues a single sendmsg() to set
up the call and supply data to be transmitted. I need to have a ponder on
that one.
