CVE-2021-47038

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: avoid deadlock between hci_dev->lock and socket lock

Commit eab2404ba798 (“Bluetooth: Add BT_PHY socket option”) added a
dependency between socket lock and hci_dev->lock that could lead to
deadlock.

It turns out that hci_conn_get_phy() is not in any way relying on hdev
being immutable during the runtime of this function, neither does it even
look at any of the members of hdev, and as such there is no need to hold
that lock.

This fixes the lockdep splat below:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
&hdev->lock –> &chan->lock#2/1 –> sk_lock-AF_BLUETOOTH-BTPROTO_L2CAP

Possible unsafe locking scenario:

    CPU0                    CPU1
    ----                    ----

lock(sk_lock-AF_BLUETOOTH-BTPROTO_L2CAP);
lock(&chan->lock#2/1);
lock(sk_lock-AF_BLUETOOTH-BTPROTO_L2CAP);
