While retrying request_pdu the mutex should be released or TesterPresent should be sent

[rumpelsepp]

While retrying in request_pdu_unsafe method the mutex is locked, resulting in exponentially increasing times where no other communication is allowed (e.g. TesterPresent).

While waiting, the mutex should be unlocked to allow these messages.
