I do not think this patch is correct.

a kref does not need to be protected by a write lock.

This might shuffle things enough to work around a particular repro you have.

If the patch was correct why not protect kref_get() sides ?

Before the &hdev->rx_work is scheduled (queue_work(hdev->workqueue,
&hdev->rx_work),
a reference must be taken.

Then this reference must be released at the end of hci_rx_work() or
when hdev->workqueue
is canceled.

This refcount is not needed _if_ the workqueue is properly canceled at
device dismantle,
in a synchronous way.

I do not see this hdev->rx_work being canceled, maybe this is the real issue.

There is a call to drain_workqueue() but this is not enough I think,
because hci_recv_frame()
can re-arm
   queue_work(hdev->workqueue, &hdev->rx_work);
