Another approach is to get rid struct_req_ctrl defintion -
It is never used as a separate object outside of struct bt_skb_cb and inlining
it saves 8 bytes on a 64 bit machine, i.e.:

 typedef void (*hci_req_complete_t)(struct hci_dev *hdev, u8 status,
u16 opcode);

-struct hci_req_ctrl {
-       bool                    start;
-       u8                      event;
-       hci_req_complete_t      complete;
-};
-
 struct bt_skb_cb {
        __u8 pkt_type;
        __u8 incoming;
        __u16 opcode;
        __u16 expect;
        __u8 force_active;
+       bool req_start;
+       u8 req_event;
+       hci_req_complete_t req_complete;
        struct l2cap_chan *chan;
        struct l2cap_ctrl control;
-       struct hci_req_ctrl req;
        bdaddr_t bdaddr;
        __le16 psm;
 };

Would you prefer this approach?
