Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix possible UAFs

This attemps to fix possible UAFs caused by struct mgmt_pending being
freed while still being processed like in the following trace, in order
to fix mgmt_pending_valid is introduce and use to check if the
mgmt_pending hasn't been removed from the pending list, on the complete
callbacks it is used to check and in addtion remove the cmd from the list
while holding mgmt_pending_lock to avoid TOCTOU problems since if the cmd
is left on the list it can still be accessed and freed.
