   After analyzing the code, we noticed that there is a race condition between
   l2cap_chan_timeout() and l2cap_sock_release() while killing the socket.

   There are few more places in l2cap code where this race condition will occur.
   Issue is reproducible by writing a test which runs connect/disconnect of a
   bluetooth device in loop. With the help of this test, issue is consistently
   reproducible just within a couple of hours.

   To fix this, protect teardown/sock_kill and orphan/sock_kill by adding
   hold_lock on l2cap channel to ensure that the socket is killed only after
   it is marked as zapped and orphan.

   This change was tested by running the above test overnight and verifying that
   issue is not observed.

   There are places in sco and rfcomm code as well where similar race condition
   may occur. We are planning to send separate patches for them as well. Please
   let us know if this looks like a good generalized solution.

Regards,
Manish.
