Chengfeng Ye 848a7a91c7 Bluetooth: hci_core: Serialize SCO and ISO scheduling with teardown
hci_low_sent() selects a connection under RCU but drops the read lock
before calculating its quota and returning it to the scheduler. The
connection is then used without lifetime protection by hci_sched_iso()
and hci_sched_sco().

After the TX worker drops the RCU read lock, hci_abort_conn_sync() on
hdev->req_workqueue can remove the connection from the hash, complete
synchronize_rcu(), purge its queues and release it. The TX worker on
hdev->workqueue can then access the freed connection in hci_quote_sent()
or while dequeuing packets and updating conn->sent.

KASAN reported:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in hci_low_sent+0x730/0x840
  Workqueue: hci0 hci_tx_work

   hci_cmd_sync_work+0x13c/0x290

Hold hci_dev_lock() across connection selection and transmission in both
SCO and ISO scheduling, serializing them with connection teardown. This
also prevents queuing completion timestamps after the connection queues
have been purged. Extending RCU across transmission would be unsafe
because the transmit path can sleep. Keep the ISO timeout check outside
the mutex since hci_link_tx_to() takes it itself.

The preceding channel fix already holds this mutex in the ACL and LE
schedulers, which call the SCO scheduler between packets. Move the SCO
body to __hci_sched_sco(), assert that its caller holds the mutex, and
use it directly from these locked paths. Keep a locking hci_sched_sco()
wrapper for the direct calls from hci_tx_work(). This avoids recursively
acquiring the device mutex while preserving the scheduling order.

Remove the obsolete claim that connection removal disables TX.
