Take a look at the source. If it already knows the answer it fills it
in and returns ERR_OK. Otherwise it will work asynchronously and call
the specified callback when it knows the answer (or error, or timeout).

So then it will always work asynchronously.

So if you get an error in your callback set some global state that you
check before doing any processing, and abort the further processing if
that state is set.
