Bluetooth: Fix race between hci_register_dev() and hci_dev_open()
If hci_dev_open() is called after hci_register_dev() added the device to the hci_dev_list but before the workqueue are created we could run into a NULL pointer dereference (see below). This bug is very unlikely to happen, systems using bluetoothd to manage their bluetooth devices will never see this happen.
