Fixes the problem that a mesh peering process won't be fired again 
after the previous first peering trial fails due to like air propagation error
if the peering is managed by user space such as wpa_supplicant.

This patch works with another patch for wpa_supplicant described here
which fires a peering process again triggered by the notice from kernel.
