bluetooth: Perform careful capability checks in hci_sock_ioctl()
Previously, capability was checked using capable(), which verified that the caller of the ioctl system call had the required capability. In addition, the result of the check would be stored in the HCI_SOCK_TRUSTED flag, making it persistent for the socket. However, malicious programs can abuse this approach by deliberately sharing an HCI socket with a privileged task. The HCI socket will be marked as trusted when the privileged task occasionally makes an ioctl call. This problem can be solved by using sk_capable() to check capability, which ensures that not only the current task but also the socket opener has the specified capability, thus reducing the risk of privilege escalation through the previously identified vulnerability.
