All accesses (both reads and modifications) to
hdev->{accept,reject}_list are protected by hdev lock,
except the ones in hci_conn_request_evt. This can cause a race
condition in the form of a list corruption.
The solution is to protect these lists in hci_conn_request_evt as well.
I was unable to find the exact commit that introduced the issue for the
reject list, I was only able to find it for the accept list.
Fixes: a55bd29d5227 ("Bluetooth: Add white list lookup for incoming connection requests")

Changes in v2:
- edited commit message to exclude note
- used an exit goto label instead
Note:
I am currently working on a static analyser to detect missing locks
using type-based static analysis as my master's thesis
in order to obtain my master's degree.
If you would like to have more details, please let me know.
This was a reported case. I manually verified the report by looking
at the code, so that I do not send wrong information or patches.
After concluding that this seems to be a true positive, I created
this patch. I have both compile-tested this patch and runtime-tested
this patch on x86_64. The effect on a running system could be a
potential race condition in exceptional cases.
This issue was found on Linux v5.17.1.
