bt_sk(sk)->parent is a raw pointer with no refcount backing it, so a
child sitting in the listening socket's accept_q can outlive it. When
the child's channel is torn down independently (e.g. hci_error_reset()
-> l2cap_conn_del() -> l2cap_sock_teardown_cb()), bt_accept_unlink()
dereferences the freed parent, corrupting its accept_q_lock and list.
Additionally, if multiple threads concurrently tear down the child
socket, bt_accept_unlink() can be called multiple times. Without
checking if the socket is still in the list, the second thread will
perform a double list_del_init(), causing list_del corruption (kernel BUG).
Fix this by:
1. Taking a reference on parent in bt_accept_enqueue() and dropping it
only when actually unlinked in bt_accept_unlink().
2. Checking !list_empty(&bt_sk(sk)->accept_q) inside the accept_q_lock
to prevent double unlinking.
3. Moving sock_put() outside of the spinlock to avoid sleeping in an
atomic context.

v2:
- Add !list_empty() check inside accept_q_lock to prevent double list_del.
- Move sock_put() outside of the spinlock to avoid sleeping in atomic context (suggested by Paavo Helde).
