Sorry to resend the patch again. Kindly let me know, if the patch is not proper or doesn't address the below mentioned scenario as intended.

This patch addresses a corner case in GO-Negotiation case. Consider the scenario where two devices A and B are in discovery stage and Device B vanishes [moves out of range] when a connect is issued on the Device A. Then Device A keeps on retrying the GO Nego req till the retry limit is reached. On reaching retry limit, the pending group interface is removed. But suppose if the peer entry in the device list expires before the retry limit is reached, then pending group interface is not removed. This patch will indicate go nego failure and will remove any pending group interfaces.
