bts: "Repair" broken channels if we receive the release ack
We had issues with odd behavior on the nanoBTS which lead to the introduction of the "broken" state. On busy multi BTS cells (e.g. rhizomatica) with wifi backhaul the timeout we set to wait for a RF Channe Release ACK is sometimes too little and channels are marked broken that look to be okay (besides the still to be determined delay). In case of a sysmoBTS we now know that we can change the state of a broken channel back to normal in case we do receive the right response. Manually verified using the Smalltalk BTS code PackageLoader fileInPackage: 'FakeBTS' bts := FakeBTS.BTS new. bts btsId: '1903/0/0'. bts connect: 'localhost'. bts waitForBTSReady. test := FakeBTS.OpenBSCTest new. test bts: bts. test requireAnyChannel ... wait for NITB output <0004> abis_rsl.c:223 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=0,ss=0) Timeout during deactivation! Marked as broken. ... process pending messages stdin next <0004> abis_rsl.c:735 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=0,ss=0) CHAN REL ACK for broken channel. Releasing it. So the channel went from broken to unallocated.
