You're not returning "pin or key missing" (which sounds like an HCI
error) but MGMT_STATUS_NOT_PAIRED. Please be honest about this in your
commit message. However, I don't think this is a very intuitive error
code for a local rejection. Could you just use MGMT_STATUS_REJECTED for
it? I think you'll get "pin or key missing" also if the remote side
rejects so I don't think that's a good HCI error to derive the needed
mgmt error from.
