Subject: [PATCH 3.18 033/150] Bluetooth: Fix LE connection timeout deadlock

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@...el.com>

commit 980ffc0a2cec2c37589cc97993e1ad17252f4f47 upstream.

The le_conn_timeout() may call hci_le_conn_failed() which in turn may
call hci_conn_del(). Trying to use the _sync variant for cancelling the
conn timeout from hci_conn_del() could therefore result in a deadlock.
This patch converts hci_conn_del() to use the non-sync variant so the
deadlock is not possible.
