Subject: [ 038/108] Bluetooth: Fix using NULL inquiry entry

From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

3.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ram Malovany <ramm@...com>

commit c810089c27e48b816181b454fcc493d19fdbc2ba upstream.

If entry wasn't found in the hci_inquiry_cache_lookup_resolve do not
resolve the name.This will fix a kernel crash when trying to use NULL
pointer.
