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

Bluetooth: btrtl: fix out of bounds memory access

The problem is detected by KASAN.
btrtl driver uses private hci data to store 'struct btrealtek_data'.
If btrtl driver is used with btusb, then memory for private hci data
is allocated in btusb. But no private data is allocated after hci_dev,
when btrtl is used with hci_h5.

This commit adds memory allocation for hci_h5 case.
