Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: fix use-after-free in hci_conn_drop

Fix a use-after-free in hci_conn_drop triggered via hci_cmd_sync_work.

In hci_conn_del(), hci_cmd_sync_dequeue() is called after
hci_conn_cleanup() which may have already freed the conn pointer.
Fix by moving the dequeue before cleanup.

Additionally, le_read_features_complete() calls hci_conn_drop(conn)
without checking whether conn is still valid. When
hci_le_read_remote_features_sync() blocks waiting for an HCI event,
another thread can free conn through hci_conn_del(). Fix by adding
a hci_conn_valid() check before calling hci_conn_drop().

Fixes: 881559af5f5c ("Bluetooth: hci_sync: Attempt to dequeue connection attempt")
Fixes: a106e50be74b ("Bluetooth: HCI: Add support for LL Extended Feature Set")
