Bug description:
[Impact]
Any unprivileged user can attach N_HCI ldisc and send packets coming from a
virtual controller by using PTYs. This exposes attack surface on systems
where bluetooth is not needed or even allow local attacks that would otherwise
require physical proximity.
[Test case]
Try attaching N_HCI ldisc to a tty.
ldattach HCI /dev/tty
[Potential regression]
Users who rely on programs using N_HCI line discipline in order to emulate or
proxy a bluetooth controller will require privilege they may not have.
