[PATCH] Bluetooth: core: Fix deadlock due to `cancel_work_sync(&hdev->power_on)` from hci_power_on_sync.

From: Vasyl Vavrychuk

`cancel_work_sync(&hdev->power_on)` was moved to hci_dev_close_sync in
commit [1] to ensure that power_on work is canceled after HCI interface
down.

But, in certain cases power_on work function may call hci_dev_close_sync
itself: hci_power_on -> hci_dev_do_close -> hci_dev_close_sync ->
cancel_work_sync(&hdev->power_on), causing deadlock. In particular, this
happens when device is rfkilled on boot. To avoid deadlock, move
power_on work canceling out of hci_dev_do_close/hci_dev_close_sync.

Deadlock introduced by commit [1] was reported in [2,3] as broken
suspend. Suspend did not work because `hdev->req_lock` held as result of
`power_on` work deadlock. In fact, other BT features were not working.
It was not observed when testing [1] since it was verified without
rfkill in place.

NOTE: It is not needed to cancel power_on work from other places where
hci_dev_do_close/hci_dev_close_sync is called in case:
* Requests were serialized due to `hdev->req_workqueue`. The power_on
work is first in that workqueue.
* hci_rfkill_set_block which won't close device anyway until HCI_SETUP
is on.
* hci_sock_release which runs after hci_sock_bind which ensures
HCI_SETUP was cleared.

As result, behaviour is the same as in pre-dd06ed7 commit, except
power_on work cancel added to hci_dev_close.
