Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_event: Ignore NULL link key

This change is used to relieve CVE-2020-26555. The description of the
CVE:

Bluetooth legacy BR/EDR PIN code pairing in Bluetooth Core Specification
1.0B through 5.2 may permit an unauthenticated nearby device to spoof
the BD_ADDR of the peer device to complete pairing without knowledge
of the PIN. [1]

The detail of this attack is in IEEE paper:
BlueMirror: Reflections on Bluetooth Pairing and Provisioning Protocols
[2]

It's a reflection attack. Base on the paper, attacker can induce the
attacked target to generate null link key (zero key) without PIN code.

We can ignore null link key in the handler of "Link Key Notification
event" to relieve the attack. A similar implementation also shows in
btstack project. [3]

Closes: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9474325/authors#authors [2]

Shouldn't the last 2 be using Link: instead?

Sorry for I confused Link: with Closes:. I will change all of them to Link: tag
