This patch lets L2CAP process received S-frames even when socket is continuously being locked by user process. This issue was seen when testing with l2test without using "-D" option. Since the user process does not expect any Rx packets, it hogs the socket with continuous call to "send()". When the TxWindow is full Tx stops untill the I-frames are acked by the receiver. But the Rx S-Frame acknowleding the Tx frames will stay in the backlog queue because the "sock_owned_by_user()" call in l2cap_data_channel() will always return true. The user process does not have an idea about this mechanism and keep pumping data and locking the socket and cause a deadlock.
