[PATCH v3 2/2] huawei: delay processing of network-initiated disconnection

From: Prathmesh Prabhu <pprabhu at chromium.org>

Huawei MU736 prematurely fires a ^NDISSTAT unsolicited message upon a
network-initiated disconnection. The modem can go into a bad state if a
reconnect attempt happens before the disconnection completes. This patch
works around the issue by delaying the reporting of the disconnection.
