Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: ISO: avoid deadlocks in iso_sock_timeout

iso_sock_timeout() takes lock_sock, so sync disabling the timer while
holding that lock may deadlock.

iso_sock_timeout() may also run concurrently with iso_conn_del(), which
leads to UAF

[Task 1] [Task hdev->workqueue]
iso_sock_timeout iso_conn_del
iso_conn_hold_unless_zero iso_chan_del
`------------> iso_conn_put
caller frees hcon
iso_conn_put
iso_conn_free
conn->hcon->iso_data = NULL; /* UAF */

Fix the deadlock by removing the disable from the lock_sock sections.
Move the timer from iso_conn to iso_pinfo to decouple it from iso_conn
which may need to be freed in lock_sock section. Convert some of the
clear_timer to disable_timer.
