entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f In 'hci_conn_del_sysfs()', 'device_unregister()' May be called
when an underlying (kobject) reference counter is greater than 1. This means that reparenting (happened
when the device is actually freed) is delayed and, during that delay, parent controller device (hciX) may
be deleted. Since the latter May create a dangling pointer to freed parent, avoid that scenario by
reparenting to NULL explicitly. (CVE-2024-53237)
