nfc_llcp_socket_release() walks the local sockets list and the listener
socket's accept_queue under bh_lock_sock().  However, bh_lock_sock()
does not provide mutual exclusion against process-context lock_sock()
held by nfc_llcp_accept_dequeue() during accept().  Since socket_release()
runs in process context (workqueue or kref cleanup), it never checks
sock_owned_by_user(), allowing both paths to manipulate the same child
socket concurrently.  This leads to a double sock_put() (Use-After-Free)
or a NULL pointer dereference of child->parent in nfc_llcp_accept_unlink().

Fix this by converting nfc_llcp_socket_release() to use lock_sock().
Since it is called with the local sockets write-lock held (which disables
preemption, preventing sleep), repeatedly pop the head socket from the
list under the write-lock using a new helper nfc_llcp_sock_list_pop(),
then safely acquire lock_sock() on it after dropping the list lock.
A sock_hold() is taken under the list lock to keep the socket alive
across the sleep and balanced with a sock_put() after release.

Additionally, add a check for a non-NULL parent in nfc_llcp_accept_unlink()
to ensure idempotency and prevent NULL pointer dereference if the unlink
races with dequeue.
