[Bluetooth] Fix L2CAP and HCI setsockopt() information leaks
The L2CAP and HCI setsockopt() implementations have a small information
leak that makes it possible to leak kernel stack memory to userspace.
If the optlen parameter is 0, no data will be copied by copy_from_user(),
but the uninitialized stack buffer will be read and stored later. A call
to getsockopt() can now retrieve the leaked information.
To fix this problem the stack buffer given to copy_from_user() must be
initialized with the current settings.
