It's to prevent confusion between is_discovering and
adapter->discovering. But we can modify to follow your preference.

I agree that we can wait to reply after the command is completed. But I think
we still need the busy error in case the client doesn't honor the
"wait until dbus reply"
protocol, otherwise bluetoothd will enter into a strange internal
state if it's not guarded.
What do you think?
