Bluetooth: Fix deadlock in l2cap_conn_del()

commit 7ab56c3a6eccb215034b0cb096e0313441cbf2a4 upstream.

A deadlock occurs when PDU containing invalid SMP opcode is received on
Security Manager Channel over LE link and conn->pending_rx_work worker
has not run yet.

When LE link is created l2cap_conn_ready() is called and before
returning it schedules conn->pending_rx_work worker to hdev->workqueue.
Incoming data to SMP fixed channel is handled by l2cap_recv_frame()
which calls smp_sig_channel() to handle the SMP PDU. If
smp_sig_channel() indicates failure l2cap_conn_del() is called to delete
the connection. When deleting the connection, l2cap_conn_del() purges
the pending_rx queue and calls flush_work() to wait for the
pending_rx_work worker to complete.

Since incoming data is handled by a worker running from the same
workqueue as the pending_rx_work is being scheduled on, we will deadlock
on waiting for pending_rx_work to complete.

This patch fixes the deadlock by calling cancel_work_sync() instead of
flush_work().
