Realtek combo chips share a single antenna between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Background LE passive scanning while an active connection exists causes
antenna multiplexing conflicts via Packet Traffic Arbitration (PTA),
resulting in audio stuttering and Wi-Fi packet loss.
Add HCI_QUIRK_NO_SCAN_WHILE_CONNECTED to suppress passive scanning in
hci_update_passive_scan_sync() when active connections are present.
Set this quirk for all Realtek devices in btrtl_set_quirks().
Also add device ID 0x0bda:0xc829 to the btusb Realtek device table.
