Bluetooth Classic AVRCP browsing channel can deadlock the Bluetooth receive thread, hanging the host
The AVRCP browsing channel's L2CAP receive-buffer callback, browsing_avrcp_l2cap_alloc_buf() in subsys/bluetooth/host/classic/avrcp.c, allocated from the shared avctp_browsing_rx_pool with K_FOREVER. L2CAP invokes that callback from the Bluetooth RX work queue thread (bt_workq, "BT RX WQ"), both for the head buffer of a new SDU and — through l2cap_br_alloc_frag() and net_buf_append_bytes() — for every further fragment of a reassembled SDU. That same thread is the only context that ever releases these buffers, after bt_l2cap_br_recv_seg() delivers a completed SDU and calls net_buf_unref(), so a wait taken there can never be satisfied.
