Subject: [bluetooth-2.6 v2] Bluetooth: Fix keeping the command timer running

In the teardown path the reset command is sent to the controller,
this event causes the command timer to be reactivated.

So the timer is removed in two situations, when the adapter isn't
marked as UP and when we know that some command has been sent.

Changes:
- The case when the adapter isn't up should be taken into account
(thanks Thomas Gleixner);
- the timer is only removed if any command was ever sent;

Could someone confirm that the same crash could potentially happen during
hci_dev_open() if some command sent by __hci_request() fails?
