[10/66] bluetooth: Fix missing NULL check

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Nov 19 2010 - 17:18:44 EST


2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c19483cc5e56ac5e22dd19cf25ba210ab1537773 upstream.

Fortunately this is only exploitable on very unusual hardware.

[Reported a while ago but nothing happened so just fixing it]
