Bluetooth: avoid recursive locking in hci_send_to_channel()
Mart reported a deadlock in -RT in the call path:
hci_send_monitor_ctrl_event() -> hci_send_to_channel()
because both functions acquire the same read lock hci_sk_list.lock. This
is also a mainline issue because the qrwlock implementation is writer
fair (the traditional rwlock implementation is reader biased).
To avoid the deadlock there is now __hci_send_to_channel() which expects
the readlock to be held.
Fixes: 38ceaa00d02d ("Bluetooth: Add support for sending MGMT commands and events to monitor")
