[PATCH] bluetooth: 6lowpan: fix use after free in chan_suspend/resume

[Michael Scott]

A status field in the skb_cb struct was storing a channel status
based on channel suspend/resume events.  This stored status was
then used to return EAGAIN if there were packet sending issues
in snd_pkt().

The issue is that the skb has been freed by the time the callback
to 6lowpan's suspend/resume was called.  So, this generates a
"use after free" issue that was noticed while running kernel tests
with KASAN debug enabled.

Let's eliminate the status field entirely as we can use the channel
tx_credits to indicate whether we should return EAGAIN when handling
packets.

It should be possible to queue the packets on l2cap_chan_send, Im not
sure why we have this suspend logic in the first place so perhaps
Jukka can shed some light here.

Good catch! If we can avoid using the status variable, that is very
good. We could probably also remove the resume and suspend callbacks as
they are now empty functions (unless we need the debug info for
something).
