[PATCH] Bluetooth: L2CAP: access chan->conn safely in get/setsockopt

[Pauli Virtanen]

Since commit b66774b48dd9 ("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix UAF in channel timeout by holding conn ref")
l2cap_chan::conn has held reference and remains non-NULL also after the
corresponding hci_conn is deleted.  In this state accessing various
fields eg. hci_conn::hdev is invalid, which leads to KASAN crash in
l2cap_sock_setsockopt() access of conn->hcon->hdev.

Check l2cap_chan::conn.hcon corresponds to an alive hci_conn before
trying to use it in l2cap_sock.c.  Hold l2cap_chan_lock() in
getsockopt/setsockopt to ensure it stays alive, and to avoid data races
in l2cap_chan fields.

Fixes: b66774b48dd9 ("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix UAF in channel timeout by holding conn ref")
