Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix possible UAFs
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix possible UAFs This attemps to fix possible UAFs caused by struct mgmt_pending being freed while still being processed like in the following trace, in order to fix mgmt_pending_valid is introduce and use to check if the mgmt_pending hasn't been removed from the pending list, on the complete callbacks it is used to check and in addtion remove the cmd from the list while holding mgmt_pending_lock to avoid TOCTOU problems since if the cmd is left on the list it can still be accessed and freed.
