In sco_conn_del, conn->sk is read while holding on to the
sco_conn.lock to avoid races with a socket that could be released
concurrently.

However, in between unlocking sco_conn.lock and calling sock_hold,
it's possible for the socket to be freed, which would cause a
use-after-free write when sock_hold is finally called.

To fix this, the reference count of the socket should be increased
while the sco_conn.lock is still held.

please add a comment here on why we are doing it.

So sorry for the very delayed response. I was looking through old email 
threads to check if my recently resent patch was still necessary, and 
just realized I missed this email.

This patch was merged into the bluetooth-next tree before your feedback 
came in. Would you still like me to write a separate patch to add the 
requested comment?

Best wishes,
Desmond
