The create command\nis in exactly one of two states: still queued, or in flight. The cancel\nfunction holds cmd_sync_work_lock across the whole decision: the worker\ntakes this lock to dequeue every entry, so while it is held a queued\ncommand cannot start running and an in-flight command cannot complete\nand let the next command become pending. This keeps the flag test and\nhci_cmd_sync_cancel() atomic with respect to the worker, so a queued\ncommand is simply dequeued, and an in-flight command owned by this\nconnection is cancelled without the risk of cancelling an unrelated\ncommand that became pending in the meantime. CIS uses the same flag\nmechanism via HCI_CONN_CREATE_CIS but cannot be dequeued per-connection.\n\nhci_acl_create_conn_sync() and hci_le_create_conn_sync() clear\nHCI_CONN_CREATE after the create command completes, but the command\nstatus handler can free conn via hci_conn_del() (for example when the\ncontroller rejects the connection) while the worker is still blocked on\nthe connection complete event. Hold a reference on conn across the\ncreate command so the flag can be cleared without a use-after-free."
