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().
