If hci_register_dev() returns an error in hci_uart_init_work() then the HCI_UART_REGISTERED bit gets erroneously set due to a missing return statement. Therefore, add the missing return statement. The consequence of the missing return is that the HCI UART is not registered but HCI_UART_REGISTERED is set which allows the code to think that hu->hdev is safe to access but hu->hdev has been freed so could lead to a crash.
