In &#39;hci_conn_del_sysfs()&#39;, &#39;device_unregister()&#39; may be called when<br />
an underlying (kobject) reference counter is greater than 1. This<br />
means that reparenting (happened when the device is actually freed)<br />
is delayed and, during that delay, parent controller device (hciX)<br />
may be deleted. Since the latter may create a dangling pointer to<br />
freed parent, avoid that scenario by reparenting to NULL explicitly.
