I will fix 2.6 first, before I will backport it to 2.4.

This sounds great and hopefully this patch has no negative side effects
on normal listen/accept calls and outgoing connections.

Attached is the full patch that should also fix the RFCOMM part. This is
again only compile tested, because I had no time to setup a test system.
The L2CAP solution looks very sane to me, but I am not sure about the
RFCOMM part and we may will have a locking problem. This really needs
intensive testing.
