well, "len" already counts "action" so by treating input as full HXG
message (including HXG header) will make it cleaner
we can try do it later but by doing it right now we would avoid
introducing this send_nb() function and deprecating them long term again

blocking calls still can fail for various reasons, full CTB is one of
them, and if we return error (now broken) for non-blocking variant then
we should do the same for blocking variant as well and let the caller
decide about next steps

if we hide retry in a silent loop then we will not find it out if we hit
this condition (IGT or real WL) or not
