[PATCH v3] Bluetooth: hci_uart: fix UAF in hci_uart_tty_close()

[<w15303746062@163.com>]

From: Mingyu Wang <25181214217@stu.xidian.edu.cn>

A Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerability and a subsequent kernel panic were
observed in hci_uart_write_work() due to a race condition between the
initialization of the HCI UART line discipline and concurrent TTY hangup.

This issue was triggered by our custom device emulation and fuzzing
framework (DevGen) on the v6.18 kernel. Due to the highly timing-dependent
nature of this race condition (requiring a precise interleaving of
TIOCVHANGUP and protocol setup), Syzkaller failed to extract a reliable
standalone C reproducer (reproducer is too unreliable: 0.00).

The crash trace is as follows:
  ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object: ffff88804024e870 object type: work_struct hint: hci_uart_write_work+0x0/0x940

   </TASK>

The issue arises because the workqueues (init_ready and write_work) are
only cancelled if the HCI_UART_PROTO_READY flag is set. However, during
the protocol initialization phase (HCI_UART_PROTO_INIT), the underlying
protocol may schedule work. If a hangup occurs before the setup completes
and the READY flag is set, hci_uart_tty_close() skips the cancel_work_sync()
calls and proceeds to free the `hu` struct. When the delayed workqueue
executes, it blindly dereferences the freed `hu` struct.

Fix this by moving the cancel_work_sync() calls outside the
HCI_UART_PROTO_READY check, ensuring that any pending works are
unconditionally cancelled before the hci_uart structure is freed.
Note that hu->init_ready and hu->write_work are initialized in
hci_uart_tty_open(), so it is always safe to call cancel_work_sync()
on them in hci_uart_tty_close(), even if the protocol was never
fully attached.
