Own Id: OTP-15342 Aux Id: ERIERL-242

## Eldap 1.2.2

### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

If the underlying tcp connection is closed and an LDAP operation returned tcp_error, the client applications tend to close the ldap handle with eldap:close. This will cause a {nocatch, {gen_tcp_error, ...}} exception.
