Now I have more information about this problem.

I had debuggin enabled in net/bluetooth/rfcomm/core.c and I noticed that
for some reson rfcomm_dlc_clear_timer() is called for allready freed
dlc and lock_timer_base() gets stuck because it's trying to use invalid
timer pointer. I also tried to reproduce bug in i386 without success.
Also then debugging is on the bug much harder to reproduse. To me this
looks like dlc locking doens't work as it should work.

And other notice. rfcomm_dlc_clear_timeri() uses timer_pending()
together with del_timer() which allready calls timer_pending(). So
timer_pending() is useless in rfcomm_dlc_clear_timer().
