`len` is used with the `memcpy()` to copy the payload to `tbuf`. With a
payload provided that is just long enough to fill `tbuf`, `len += 6`
leads to the `memcpy()` overriding data after `tbuf` (e.g. the
`mutex` that is unlocked right after) and thus resulting in potential
segmentation faults.
Additionally `+ 6` can only be applied if the total packet length is
below 256 (see spec), so `len + pos` is what needs to be provided to the
corresponding send functions instead (`pos` adapts to the header length
of the PUBLISH message).
