This looks right to me.

Quickly looking to the changed it looks like refcounting is not changed
for accepting rfcomm but changed for connecting side. Have you tested both
situations?

this looks OK given that we hold session when creating.

Also in the code there are places when we check is rfcomm session
initiator and then make refcounting which means something is wrong.
