Subject: [kernel PATCH v2] Bluetooth: hci_sync: Resume adv with no RPA when
 active scan

The address resolution should be disabled during the active scan,
so all the advertisements can reach the host. The advertising
has to be paused before disabling the address resolution,
because the advertising will prevent any changes to the resolving
list and the address resolution status. Skipping this will cause
the hci error and the discovery failure.

If the host is using RPA, the controller needs to generate RPA for
the advertising, so the advertising must remain paused during the
active scan.

If the host is not using RPA, the advertising can be resumed after
disabling the address resolution.

Fixes: 9afc675edeeb ("Bluetooth: hci_sync: allow advertise when scan without RPA")

Changes in v2:
- Commit message format

Changes in v1:
- With LL privacy, always pause advertising when active scan
- Only resume the advertising if the host is not using RPA
