If hci_dev_open() is called after hci_register_dev() added the device to
the hci_dev_list but before the workqueue are created we could run into a
NULL pointer dereference (see below).
This bug is very unlikely to happen, systems using bluetoothd to
manage their bluetooth devices will never see this happen.
