Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_event: fix LE list UAF on reset

hci_cc_reset() clears the LE accept and resolving lists without taking
hdev->lock. Other command-complete handlers serialize updates to these
lists with that lock, and the debugfs readers hold it while walking them.

This permits the reset completion and a debugfs read to interleave as
follows:

  hci_rx_work                 debugfs reader
  -----------                 --------------
                              lock hdev->lock
                              fetch current entry
  list_del(entry)
  kfree(entry)
                              read entry fields

The reader then dereferences a freed list entry and may follow its stale
next pointer.

KASAN reported:

Take hdev->lock around both list clears. This matches the existing
mutation and traversal locking convention.
