Subject: [PATCH] gattrib: Fix a premature response timer removal

A timer is set when a response is expected. The timer is removed when
data is received, regardless of whether or not the data is a response.
As a result, the timer may be cleared even though a response was not
received and there would be no way to detect a command timeout.

Fix this by clearing the timer only after verifying a response was
received.

The patch looks good.

Just a little background on how things are done this way. This was
written thinking that when a indication (a request) is received the
timer should be reset, even if there is already a pending response.

So with this patch we trust that BlueZ will send responses in time, and
we only handle timeouts from the remote. Which is a good assumption for
me. At least it is more consistent.

Here's my Ack.
