bluetooth: eliminate the potential race condition when removing the HCI controller
There is a possible race condition vulnerability between issuing a HCI command and removing the cont. Specifically, functions hci_req_sync() and hci_dev_do_close() can race each other like below: thread-A in hci_req_sync() | thread-B in hci_dev_do_close() | hci_req_sync_lock(hdev); test_bit(HCI_UP, &hdev->flags); | ... | test_and_clear_bit(HCI_UP, &hdev->flags) hci_req_sync_lock(hdev); | | In this commit we alter the sequence in function hci_req_sync(). Hence, the thread-A cannot issue th.
