Thanks for comment but I could not found any suitable code in l2cap_sock_kill that 
can make l2cap_chan_destroy to be called just once. sock flag test is not enough to 
do it.

I agree this path should not be the fix. Testing chan->refcnt is nonsense because 
chan might have been freed already. So I looked for another point,

@@ -1343,10 +1343,10 @@ static void l2cap_conn_del(struct hci_conn *hcon, int err)
                l2cap_chan_lock(chan);
 
                l2cap_chan_del(chan, err);
+               chan->ops->close(chan->data);
 
                l2cap_chan_unlock(chan);
 
-               chan->ops->close(chan->data);
                l2cap_chan_put(chan);
        }

close callback must locate within chan_lock unless it can be scheduled to other thread 
which may wait for chan_lock in l2cap_sock_shutdown and this lead to duplicate sock_kill.

 static void l2cap_sock_kill(struct sock *sk)
 {
-       if (!sock_flag(sk, SOCK_ZAPPED) || sk->sk_socket)
+       if (!sock_flag(sk, SOCK_ZAPPED) || sock_flag(sk, SOCK_DEAD) ||
+                       sk->sk_socket)
                return;
 
        BT_DBG("sk %p state %s", sk, state_to_string(sk->sk_state));

Duplicate sock_kill may happen anyway, need test SOCK_DEAD if chan_destroy is already called.
