[PATCH v3] Bluetooth: L2CAP: Reject signalling responses in invalid states

[Siwei Zhang <oss@fourdim.xyz>]

A peer can send configuration messages while an
incoming channel is in BT_CONNECT2, before the
security or deferred accept gate has completed. A
configuration response can then promote the channel
to BT_CONNECTED. Configuration responses can also
act on channels that are closing, and a late connection
response can move a disconnecting channel back to
BT_CONFIG.

Accept connection responses only while waiting in
BT_CONNECT. Answer configuration requests in
BT_CONNECT2, but defer our own request until
BT_CONFIG so configuration cannot complete before
the gate. Ignore configuration responses outside
BT_CONFIG and BT_CONNECTED, and only complete
configuration in BT_CONFIG.
