Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_sync: hold conn in hci_connect_big_sync() callback
There is theoretical UAF if the conn is freed while the hci_sync task is
running.
Hold refcount to avoid that. Handle NULL hcon, return 0 + do nothing to
match the previous behavior.
