Im pretty sure this is impossible scenario with bluetooth-next, since
1. only one work can be running hci_le_pa_create_sync at time so
HCI_EV_LE_PA_SYNC_ESTABLISHED cannot be outstanding 2. The
conn->timeout shall be aligned with socket timeout so perhaps the
problem is userspace is not setting the socket timeout correctly or
something.
