The sync command worker holds hdev->req_lock, but inquiry-cache updates
and flushes use hdev->lock. Both hci_acl_create_conn_sync() and
hci_stop_discovery_sync() look up entries and read their fields without
taking hdev->lock.

After either lookup returns, a concurrent HCIINQUIRY ioctl can acquire
hdev->lock and flush the cache, freeing the entry. The worker then reads
the freed entry while preparing a create-connection or remote-name-cancel
command. The list traversal also races with cache updates and removal.

KASAN reported these accesses:

Hold hdev->lock across each lookup and all reads from its result. Copy the
remote address before unlocking so discovery cancellation does not retain
a cache entry pointer. Release the lock before sending synchronous HCI
commands, since their completion handlers may need the same lock.
