Vulnerability Type: 
CWE ID: CWE-416
Summary: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.5. There is a use-after-free issue when hci_uart_register_dev() fails in hci_uart_set_proto() in drivers/bluetooth/hci_ldisc.c.
Commit Message: Bluetooth: hci_ldisc: Postpone HCI_UART_PROTO_READY bit set in hci_uart_set_proto()

task A:                                task B:
hci_uart_set_proto                     flush_to_ldisc
 - p->open(hu) -> h5_open  //alloc h5  - receive_buf
 - set_bit HCI_UART_PROTO_READY         - tty_port_default_receive_buf

 - p->open(hu) -> h5_close //free h5
				              - h5_rx_3wire_hdr
				               - h5_reset()  //use-after-free
                                              }

It could use ioctl to set hci uart proto, but there is
a use-after-free issue when hci_uart_register_dev() fail in
hci_uart_set_proto(), see stack above, fix this by setting
HCI_UART_PROTO_READY bit only when hci_uart_register_dev()
return success.
