Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_sock: Prevent race in socket write iter and sock bind

There is a potential race condition between sock bind and socket write
iter. bind may free the same cmd via mgmt_pending before write iter sends
the cmd, just as syzbot reported in UAF[1].

Here we use hci_dev_lock to synchronize the two, thereby avoiding the
UAF mentioned in [1].
