There's logic in __rfcomm_dlc_close:
	rfcomm_dlc_lock(d);
	d->state = BT_CLOSED;
	d->state_changed(d, err);
	rfcomm_dlc_unlock(d);

In rfcomm_dev_state_change, it's possible that rfcomm_dev_put try to take the
dlc lock, then we will deadlock.

Here fixed it by unlock dlc before rfcomm_dev_get in rfcomm_dev_state_change.

why not unlock just before rfcomm_dev_put? it's because there's another problem.
rfcomm_dev_get/rfcomm_dev_del will take rfcomm_dev_lock, but in rfcomm_dev_add
the lock order is : rfcomm_dev_lock --> dlc lock

so I unlock dlc before the taken of rfcomm_dev_lock.
 
Actually it's a regression caused by commit
1905f6c736cb618e07eca0c96e60e3c024023428, the dlc state_change could be two
callbacks : rfcomm_sk_state_change and rfcomm_dev_state_change. I missed the rfcomm_sk_state_change that time.

Thanks Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> for the effort in commit
4c8411f8c115def968820a4df6658ccfd55d7f1a
but he missed the rfcomm_dev_state_change lock issue.
