Subject[10/82] bluetooth: Fix missing NULL check
2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com>

commit c19483cc5e56ac5e22dd19cf25ba210ab1537773 upstream.

Fortunately this is only exploitable on very unusual hardware.

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