Syzbot reported a corrupted list in kobject_add_internal [1]. This happens when multiple HCI_EV_SYNC_CONN_COMPLETE event packets with status 0 are sent for the same HCI connection. This causes us to register the device more than once which corrupts the kset list. As this is forbidden behavior, we add a check for whether we're trying to process the same HCI_EV_SYNC_CONN_COMPLETE event multiple times for one connection. If that's the case, the event is invalid, so we report an error that the device is misbehaving, and ignore the packet.
