CVE-2024-54460: Bluetooth: iso: Fix circular lock in iso_listen_bis
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: iso: Fix circular lock in isolistenbis
This fixes the circular locking dependency warning below, by releasing the socket lock before enterning isolistenbis, to avoid any potential deadlock with hdev lock.
