If a topology event subscription fails for any reason, such as out
of memory, max number reached or because we received an invalid
request the correct behavior is to terminate the subscribers
connection to the topology server. This is currently broken and
produces the following oops:

The recursion occurs when subscr_terminate tries to grab the
subscriber lock, which is already taken by subscr_conn_msg_event.
We fix this by checking if the request to establish a new
subscription was successful, and if not we initiate termination of
the subscriber after we have released the subscriber lock.
