PATCH 1/1 Bluetooth: Serialize SMP remote OOB data access

build_pairing_cmd() looks up remote OOB data and copies its contents without holding hdev->lock, which serializes the list's writers. After SMP finds an entry, a concurrent management Remove Remote OOB Data command can unlink and free it before SMP reads its present flag or copies its random and confirmation values. Removal can also invalidate an entry while the lookup is still traversing the list.

KASAN reported:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in build_pairing_cmd+0x948/0x9b0
  Call Trace:
   build_pairing_cmd+0x948/0x9b0
   smp_recv_cb+0x459f/0x8110
   l2cap_recv_frame+0xf14/0x9190
   l2cap_recv_acldata+0xa64/0xd40
   hci_rx_work+0x4ca/0x730

  Allocated by task 87:
   hci_add_remote_oob_data+0x11d/0x530
   add_remote_oob_data+0x282/0x400
   hci_sock_sendmsg+0x1033/0x1ea0

  Freed by task 93:
   hci_remote_oob_data_clear+0x108/0x1c0
   remove_remote_oob_data+0x198/0x220
   hci_sock_sendmsg+0x1033/0x1ea0

Taking hdev->lock in build_pairing_cmd() would recurse for callers that already hold it and invert the device-to-L2CAP lock order on the receive path. Add a per-device remote_oob_lock instead, held across the SMP lookup and copies and by the add, remove and clear helpers. Cover initialization and in-place updates as well, so SMP cannot read partially initialized or updated OOB values. Release the mutex on allocation failure, preserving the existing error return.

The new critical sections acquire no device, connection or channel locks. Writers retain their existing hdev->lock protection, which continues to serialize the other readers without changing their locking or behavior.

Fixes 02b05bd8b0a6 ("Bluetooth: Set SMP OOB flag if OOB data is available")
