[PATCH 5/7] Bluetooth: introduce hci_conn_free() for better structure

["Olivier L'Heureux" <olivier.lheureux@xxxxxxx>]

The bluetooth subsystem uses different sources for different layers or
objects. In particular, the "hci_conn.c" source regroups the handling
of the "struct hci_conn" objects, amongst other things. "hci_conn.c"
contains "hci_conn_add()" to allocate the "struct hci_conn",
"hci_conn_del()" to delete them etc.

One function is lacking: a "hci_conn_free()" to free the "struct
hci_conn". The "kfree()" is in the "bt_link_release()" [1], in
"hci_sysfs.c". "bt_link_release()" is the callback called when
the "struct device" reference count reaches 0. It makes sense that
"bt_link_release()" is in "hci_sysfs.c", with the other functions
related to "struct device" and sysfs, but to respect the structure of
the bluetooth subsystem, "bt_link_release()" should not directly call
"kfree()" on the "struct hci_conn" object. It should call a freeing
function located in "hci_conn.c", so that "hci_conn.c" contains both
the allocation and free of "struct hci_conn" objects.

This improved structure becomes necessary if we want to do more than
just calling "kfree()" in "bt_link_release()". We want to access the
"struct l2cap_conn" associated to the "struct hci_conn", we can do
this in "hci_conn.c", which includes "l2cap.h", while we can't do this
in "hci_sysfs.c", for which "struct l2cap_conn" is opaque.

For those structural reasons:

 1. We create a new "hci_conn_free()" function in "hci_conn.c", whose
    purpose is to free the "struct hci_conn".
 2. We export it by declaring it in
    "include/net/bluetooth/hci_core.h".
 3. Instead of freeing the "struct hci_conn" in "bt_link_release()",
    we call "hci_conn_free()" where we have moved the content of
    "bt_link_release()".
