My application uses Pika's `BlockingConnection` and when the application is shutting down, it calls `close()` on this connection. I noticed that sometimes Pika fails to close the connection because the channel is `None`:
```
AttributeError 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'is_open'
```
It doesn't happen always, so I don't have reliable reproduction steps.
Is this a bug suitable for logging to Pika's GitHub issues?
pika 1.3.2, CPython 3.10, Ubuntu LTS, Kubernetes pod in AWS.
