Trying to open a DLCI by sending a SABM frame may fail with a timeout. The link is closed on the initiator side without informing the responder about this event. The responder assumes the link is open after sending a UA frame to answer the SABM frame. The link gets stuck in a half open state. This patch fixes this by initiating the proper link termination procedure after link setup timeout instead of silently closing it down.
