Since commit 4c67bc74f016b0d360b8573e18969c0ff7926974, we retry connecting later when we get a "Command Disallowed" error returned by "Create Connection". In this commit the intention was to retry only once, and give up if we see "Command Disallowed" again on the second try. This made sense back then when the retry was initiated *only* from the "Connect Complete" event. If we received that event, we knew that now the card now must have a "free slot" for a new connection request again. These days we call hci_conn_check_pending() from a few more places though, and in these places we can't really be sure that there's a "free slot" on the card, so the second try to "Create Connection" might fail again. Deal with this by being less strict about these retries and try again every time we get "Command Disallowed" errors, removing the limitation to only two attempts. Since this can potentially cause us to enter an endless cycle of reconnection attempts, we'll add some guarding against that with the next commit.
