  57. Compensating control

    In create_big_sync(), call hci_conn_valid() to detect stale Bluetooth connections before proceeding with BIG creation.

  58. Compensating control

    Keep the hci_conn object alive across the asynchronous create_big_sync() operation by taking a reference with hci_conn_get() when queueing it and releasing it with hci_conn_put() in the completion callback; perform the final hci_conn_put() outside hci_dev_unlock().

  59. Compensating control

    In create_big_complete(), handle the resulting -ECANCELED and re-validate the connection under hci_dev_lock() before dereferencing it, following the pattern used by create_le_conn_complete() and create_pa_complete().
