CVE-2026-53252

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: fix memory leak in error path of hci_alloc_dev()

Early failures in Bluetooth HCI UART configuration leak SRCU percpu
memory.

When device initialization fails before hci_register_dev() completes,
the HCI_UNREGISTER flag is never set. As a result, when the device
reference count reaches zero, bt_host_release() evaluates this flag as
false and falls back to a direct kfree(hdev).

Because hci_release_dev() is bypassed, the SRCU struct initialized
early in hci_alloc_dev() is never cleaned up, resulting in a leak of
percpu memory.

Fix the leak by explicitly calling cleanup_srcu_struct() in the
fallback (unregistered) branch of bt_host_release() before freeing
the device.
