connection_dir_is_anonymous: Non-fatal assertion !(CONST_TO_OR_CIRCUIT(circ)->p_chan == NULL) failed

Hmm, I just noticed this on one of my test relay:

This is recent code that reject HSDir single hop connections (#24964 (moved)). Offending piece of code is:

  /* Get the previous channel to learn if it is a client or relay link. */
  if (BUG(CONST_TO_OR_CIRCUIT(circ)->p_chan == NULL)) {
    log_info(LD_DIR, "Rejected HSDir request: no p_chan");
    return false;
  }

Not sure why this can BUG()...
