syzbot is still working on finding a repro, this is obviously not trivial,
because this is a race window.

I think this can happen even with a single SCO connection.

This might be triggered more easily forcing a delay in sco_sock_timeout()

Stack trace tells us that sco_sock_timeout() is running after last reference
on socket has been released.

This is why I suggested to delay sock_put() to make sure this can not happen.
