Bluetooth: hci_ldisc: Initialize hci_dev before open()
commit
32a7b4cbe93b0a0ef7e63d31ca69ce54736c4412 upstream.
The hci_dev struct hdev is referenced in work queues and timers started
by open() in some protocols. This creates a race between the
initialization function and the work or timer which can result hdev
being dereferenced while it is still null.
The syzbot report contains a reliable reproducer which causes a null
pointer dereference of hdev in hci_uart_write_work() by making the
memory allocation for hdev fail.
To fix this, ensure hdev is valid from before calling a protocol's
open() until after calling a protocol's close().
