Sent v3 of the patchset now, I didn't add a test to mgmt-tester because 
it's actually quite tricky to notice the full shutdown sequence happened 
rather than just closing the device. As long as no devices are 
connected, the difference is mostly in a few (faily random) events:

btmon without the patch:

Maybe we could add a fake connection and check whether that is 
disconnected on the rfkill, but I don't think mgmt-tester supports that..

Fwiw, I don't think having a test for this is super important, this is a 
regression a lot of people would notice very quickly I think.
