hci_is_adv_monitoring's function documentation states that it must be
called under the hdev lock. Paths that leads to an unlocked call are:
discov_update => start_discovery => interleaved_discov => active_scan
and: discov_update => start_discovery => active_scan

The solution is to take the lock in active_scan during the duration of
the call to hci_is_adv_monitoring.

Note:
I am currently working on a static analyser to detect missing locks
using type-based static analysis as my master's thesis
in order to obtain my master's degree.
If you would like to have more details, please let me know.
This was a reported case. I manually verified the report by looking
at the code, so that I do not send wrong information or patches.
After concluding that this seems to be a true positive, I created
this patch. I have only managed to compile-test this patch on x86_64.
The effect on a running system could be a potential race condition
in exceptional cases. This issue was found on Linux v5.17.1.
