From: linma <linma@zju.edu.cn>

In the cleanup routine for failed initialization of HCI device,
the flush_work(&hdev->rx_work) need to be finished before the
flush_work(&hdev->cmd_work). Otherwise, the hci_rx_work() can
possibly invoke new cmd_work and cause a bug, like double free,
in late processings.

This was assigned CVE-2021-3564.

This patch reorder the flush_work() to fix this bug.
