Bluetooth: Open management interface for untrusted users
Until now the management interface was restricted to CAP_NET_ADMIN. With this change every user can open the management socket. However the list of commands is heavily restricted to getting basic information about the attached controllers. No access for configuration or other operation is provided. The events are also limited. This is done so that no keys can leak or untrusted users can mess with the Bluetooth configuration.
