[rulkc] [PATCH v1] Bluetooth: mgmt: fix 'hdev->discovery.uuids' NULL dereference

'uuid_count' member of struct 'discovery_state' is assigned and read
without any locks, so there is a chance of situation when
uuid_count != 0, but uuids is NULL and there will be NULL pointer
dereference.
Possible race:
'hci_update_passive_scan_sync'
'hci_discovery_filter_clear'
hdev->discovery.uuid_count = 0;
<----------------------preempted----------------------------->
'start_service_discovery'
// Set uuid_count to value != 0
hdev->discovery.uuid_count = uuid_count;
hdev->discovery.uuids = kmemdup(...);
<----------------------preempted----------------------------->
spin_lock(&hdev->discovery.lock);
kfree(hdev->discovery.uuids);
hdev->discovery.uuids = NULL;
spin_unlock(&hdev->discovery.lock);
Now uuids == NULL and uuid_count != 0.
So 'mgmt_device_found' -> 'is_filter_match' -> 'eir_has_uuids' receives
non consistent discovery state, where NULL dereference of uuids happens.
To fix it let's add discovery.lock around every read/write of uuid_count,
uuids pair of struct members. It is also important to assign uuid_count
value only after success kmemdup() allocation in
start_service_discovery(), otherwise uuids is NULL, because kmemdup failed,
but uuid_count is already assigned to non zero value.
The following panic happens:
