Bluetooth: 6lowpan: avoid untracked enable work

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: 6lowpan: avoid untracked enable work

lowpan_enable_set() allocates a temporary work item and schedules
do_enable_set() on system_wq, then returns to debugfs. The debugfs active
operation has ended at that point, but the worker still executes module
text and manipulates enable_6lowpan and listen_chan.

bt_6lowpan_exit() removes the debugfs files and immediately closes and
puts listen_chan. It has no pointer to the queued work item, so it cannot
cancel or flush it before tearing down the state that the worker uses.

The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:

debugfs enable write              module exit
1. lowpan_enable_set() allocates  1. bt_6lowpan_exit() removes
   set_enable work                   the debugfs file
2. schedule_work() queues         2. bt_6lowpan_exit() closes
   do_enable_set()                   and puts listen_chan
3. the write operation returns    3. module teardown can continue
4. do_enable_set() later runs
   against stale state

Run the enable state transition synchronously in lowpan_enable_set()
instead. The simple debugfs setter can sleep, and this file already handles
the 6LoWPAN control write synchronously under the same set_lock. Once the
setter returns, debugfs removal covers the whole operation and exit can no
longer race with an untracked work item.

Validation reproduced this kernel report:
