P2p_peers command

[Marek.Kwaczynski at tieto.com]

Hi,

According the second issue I prepared a patch. I added a new state in p2p_device structure that keeps information about status of connection. 
Now p2p_devices aren't removed from the list of peers when p2p devices are connected.

Please look at it maybe will be useful.

Best regards,
Marek Kwaczynski

No, that does not sound intended.

Thanks, applied.

> When two devices are connected (the first one is GO and the second one is p2p_client)  they don't send Probe Requests/Responses beetwen each other and it is a root cause that they are removed from list of peers. Is it correct? Maybe these devices should be kept on the list during connection?

It would sound reasonable to maintain the entries through the connection and P2P_PEER_EXPIRATION_AGE seconds after the connection has been lost.
