While handling the HCI_EV_HARDWARE_ERROR event, if the underlying
BT controller is not responding, the GPIO reset mechanism would
free the hci_dev and lead to a use-after-free in hci_error_reset.
Here's the call trace observed on a ChromeOS device with Intel AX201:
queue_work_on+0x3e/0x6c
__hci_cmd_sync_sk+0x2ee/0x4c0 [bluetooth <HASH:3b4a6>]
? init_wait_entry+0x31/0x31
__hci_cmd_sync+0x16/0x20 [bluetooth <HASH:3b4a 6>]
hci_error_reset+0x4f/0xa4 [bluetooth <HASH:3b4a 6>]
process_one_work+0x1d8/0x33f
worker_thread+0x21b/0x373
kthread+0x13a/0x152
? pr_cont_work+0x54/0x54
? kthread_blkcg+0x31/0x31
ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30
This patch holds the reference count on the hci_dev while processing
a HCI_EV_HARDWARE_ERROR event to avoid potential crash.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
