Good catch, I should be able to fix this, perhaps we can free
immediately or let the timeout handle this as well.

Well that involves changing some other logic behind the timeout, such as this:

		if (session->ref == 0 && !session->streams && !session->req)
			set_disconnect_timer(session);

		if (session->streams && session->dc_timer)
			remove_disconnect_timer(session);

IMO those should be removed in favor of the ref/unref handling if the
disconnect timer should be started/removed, if there is a request the
user should be holding a reference and the same for the stream, this
should actually simplify even further the code. Also the reason I did
avdtp_free in the connection_lost was not to much too much code around
as avdtp_free call a lot of other functions, but you are probably
right and this should actually be called from disconnect_timeout.
