proposed patch by Neels in https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-sgsn/+/16744/1

SGSN_Tests_Iu.TC_geran_attach_iu_rau tests exactly for this scenario: A Subscriber / MM context that is so far attached via GERAN, but now receives a RAU via UTRAN/Iu.

lynxis has indicated various times that he has a proper fix for this,
my patch is written with very shallow knowledge of what is really going wrong there.

above mentioned test passes even though the patch was never merged.
Apparently we have merged another fix for that crash?
Anyway, the linked patch cannot be harmful and still builds, so merging it anyway.
