This happened when o2net was issuing the first connect request to some
node, but the request packet is lost due to some error like network
broken, then the connect would be expired, in o2net_connect_expired()
that set nn->nn_persistent_error to -ENOTCONN but timeout was zero, so
o2net_start_connect() would return without sending another connect
request, connection to the node will never be built.

Thanks,
Junxiao.
