Please include the btmon portion when the issue occurs.

Perhaps we should split these into 2 separated changes then, on top of
it it perhaps would be a good idea to implement a test in mgmt-tester
to check the correct behavior.

This code above is duplicated in a few places so we might as well have
it as a separate function e.g. hci_remove_adv

Then just call hci_remove_adv.

Use the remove to describe the action e.g. hci_remove_all_adv.

Something like hci_disable_all_adv sounds better here.
