That's a bug in user space and it should be fixed there. I.e. user space
should be fixed to handle the command status/complete for
start_discovery properly.

If the "discovering" parameter passed to mgmt_discovering is 0 then
mgmt_discovering will only look for a pending MGMT_OP_STOP_DISCOVERY and
not MGMT_OP_START_DISCOVERY. So it still looks to me like there'd be a
missing command complete.

Anyway, like I said this looks more like something we need to fix in
user space before making the next release.
