Bluetooth: hci_core: Initialize link key before publication

Browse Source 
hci_add_link_key() allocates a new link key with kzalloc(), inserts it into
hdev->link_keys with list_add_rcu(), and only then initializes its address,
value, type, and PIN length.  RCU readers such as hci_find_link_key()
and the debugfs link_keys_show() do not take hci_dev_lock, so they can
traverse the new entry during that initialization window and observe
a zero or partially initialized key.

This can be triggered by racing a link-key update with another CPU looking
up or dumping keys.  In particular, userspace can issue
MGMT_OP_LOAD_LINK_KEYS while another process reads the corresponding
debugfs file.

Complete all fields of a newly allocated key before publishing it with
list_add_rcu().  Existing keys remain visible and keep their current
in-place update behavior.

Found during a static-analysis-assisted audit: candidate sites were
surfaced by a Coccinelle rule, and the reader/writer paths were
confirmed by LLM-assisted (GLM-5.3) code inspection.  The issue was
not observed at runtime; it is identified by code inspection only.
