Bluetooth: Fix wrong module refcount when connection setup fails
The module refcount is increased by hci_dev_hold() call in hci_conn_add()
and decreased by hci_dev_put() call in del_conn(). In case the connection
setup fails, hci_dev_put() is never called.
Procedure to reproduce the issue:
# hciconfig hci0 up
# lsmod | grep btusb -> "used by" refcount = 1
# hcitool cc <non-exisiting bdaddr> -> will get timeout
# lsmod | grep btusb -> "used by" refcount = 2
# hciconfig hci0 down
# lsmod | grep btusb -> "used by" refcount = 1
# rmmod btusb -> ERROR: Module btusb is in use
The hci_dev_put() call got moved into del_conn() with the 2.6.25 kernel
to fix an issue with hci_dev going away before hci_conn. However that
change was wrong and introduced this problem.
When calling hci_conn_del() it has to call hci_dev_put() after freeing
the connection details. This handling should be fully symmetric. The
execution of del_conn() is done in a work queue and needs it own calls
to hci_dev_hold() and hci_dev_put() to ensure that the hci_dev stays
until the connection cleanup has been finished.
