Bluetooth: hci_conn: Lock parent access during enhanced SCO setup

hci_enhanced_setup_sync() runs on the request workqueue without the
hci_dev_lock held by its caller when setup was queued. Its CVSD
capability check and find_next_esco_param() dereference conn->parent
while the receive workqueue can unlink and release that parent.

The following interleaving can cause a use-after-free:

  hci_enhanced_setup_sync()       hci_disconn_complete_evt()
  load conn->parent
                                 hci_dev_lock()
                                 hci_conn_del(ACL parent)
                                   unlink SCO child
                                   drop link's parent reference
                                   clear child->parent
                                   release ACL parent
                                     bt_link_release()
                                       kfree(parent)
                                 hci_dev_unlock()
  read parent->features[0][3]

The reference held for the queued SCO child does not keep its ACL parent
alive after unlinking. Commit 42de40abe25d ("Bluetooth: hci_conn: fix the
SCO setup context lifetime") protects the child stored in the queued
context, but leaves these parent accesses unprotected.

With a 40 ms diagnostic delay after loading conn->parent, an instrumented
kernel based on fd179f8a05be, which already contains 42de40abe25d,
reported:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in hci_enhanced_setup_sync+0xda5/0xdf0
  Read of size 1 at addr ffff888102204047 by task kworker/u17:0/93
  Call Trace:

   hci_event_packet+0x71b/0xb20
   hci_rx_work+0x293/0x730

The accessed address is 71 bytes into the freed ACL parent, at its
features[0][3] byte; the queued SCO child is a different object. The
diagnostic preserves the loaded parent across the delay, matching the
unmodified compiled capability check, and does not change the parent
references or teardown path.

Hold hci_dev_lock() across the codec switch, including every call to
find_next_esco_param(), and release it on all selection errors. Keep
configure_datapath_sync() outside the critical section because it waits
for HCI events. Preserve parameter selection and existing return values.
