kernel: missing tty ops write function presence check in hci_uart_tty_open()

The hciuartttyopen function in the HCI UART driver drivers/bluetooth/hcildisc.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.36, and possibly other versions, does not verify whether the tty has a write operation, which allows local users to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference via vectors related to the...
