Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_debugfs: Pin module for debugfs file
 operations

An open debugfs file retains its file_operations pointer in the
debugfs proxy state. However, the file_operations defined in
hci_debugfs.c (use_debug_keys_fops, sc_only_mode_fops,
ssp_debug_mode_fops, force_bredr_smp_fops, force_static_address_fops,
force_no_mitm_fops, dut_mode_fops, vendor_diag_fops, and the
DEFINE_QUIRK_ATTRIBUTE macro) have no .owner set to THIS_MODULE.

As a result, full_proxy_open_regular() calls fops_get() which succeeds
without taking a reference to the bluetooth module. When a userspace
process opens any of these debugfs files, a subsequent controller removal
and module unload (rmmod bluetooth) can succeed while the file descriptor
remains open.

When the userspace process subsequently closes the descriptor,
full_proxy_release() accesses the already unmapped file_operations
structure, triggering a kernel oops in full_proxy_release():

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffbfff8056f03
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
  Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
  RIP: 0010:full_proxy_release+0x8e/0x140
  Call Trace:

   do_syscall_64+0x115/0x6a0
   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f
   </TASK>

The issue was discovered via manual code audit of
net/bluetooth/hci_debugfs.c and verified on a Linux 7.3-rc6 test VM
with CONFIG_BT=m.

Set .owner = THIS_MODULE on all debugfs file_operations tables in
hci_debugfs.c so that debugfs keeps the module loaded until close has
finished.
