Subject: [PATCH v4] bluetooth: hci_h5: fix memory leak in h5_close

If h5_close is called when !hu->serdev, h5 is directly freed.
However, h5->rx_skb is not freed, which causes a memory leak.

Freeing h5->rx_skb fixes this memory leak.

In case hu->serdev exists, h5->rx_skb is then set to NULL,
since we do not want to risk a potential NULL pointer 
dereference.

Fixes: ce945552fde4 ("Bluetooth: hci_h5: Add support for serdev enumerated devices")

Changes in v4:
	* Free h5->rx_skb even when hu->serdev
	(Suggested by Hans de Goede <hdegoede@...hat.com>)
	* If hu->serdev, then assign h5->rx_skb = NULL

Changes in v3:
	* Free h5->rx_skb when !hu->serdev, and fix the memory leak
	* Do not incorrectly and unnecessarily call serdev_device_close()

Changes in v2:
	* Fixed the Fixes tag
