invalidate vsub->msc_conn_ref when msc_a is discarded

We have an msc_conn_ref pointer from vlr_subscr to an active msc_a
instance. So far, we just keep it pointing at discarded memory. Instead,
make sure it goes back to NULL when the msc_a instance deallocates.

This way the VLR can reliably tell whether a given VLR entry still has
an active connection or is just inactively caching the subscriber.
