Description

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

Bluetooth: iso: Fix circular lock in iso_listen_bis

This fixes the circular locking dependency warning below, by
releasing the socket lock before enterning iso_listen_bis, to
avoid any potential deadlock with hdev lock.
