In sco_conn_del, conn->sk is read while holding on to the sco_conn.lock to avoid races with a socket that could be released concurrently. However, in between unlocking sco_conn.lock and calling sock_hold, it's possible for the socket to be freed, which would cause a use-after-free write when sock_hold is finally called. To fix this, the reference count of the socket should be increased while the sco_conn.lock is still held.
