Beside !chan->conn condition,I think it makes sense that sk_state check 
should be moved after l2cap_chan_lock()
because sk_state could be changed due to l2cap_conn_del().

I think sk->state could be protected by l2cap_chan_lock() in the below 
procedure.

l2cap_conn_del()
->l2cap_chan_lock()
->l2cap_chan_del()
-> lock_sock()
__l2cap_sock_state_change() *
-> release_sock()
->l2cap_chan_unlock()
