Fix null pointer deref in hci_phy_link_complete_evt, there was no 
checking there for the hcon->amp_mgr->l2cap_conn->hconn, and also 
in hci_cmd_work, for hdev->sent_cmd.

To fix this issue Add pointer checking in hci_cmd_work and
hci_phy_link_complete_evt.
[Linux-next-20200827]

This patch corrected some mistakes from previous patch.

How can sent_cmd be NULL here?  Are you sure something previous to this
shouldn't be fixed instead?
Sir, sent_cmd was freed before this condition check, thats why i checked it,
But it can not be NULL at that point in time, as nothing set it to NULL,
correct?
i think i should check it before the free of hdev->sent_cmd like,

if (hdev->sent_cmd)
	kfree_skb(hdev->sent_cmd);
No, that's not needed.

What is the problem with these lines that you are trying to solve?

How can this be triggered?
syzbot showed that this line is accessed irrespective of the null value it contains, so  added a 
pointer check for that.
But does hcon->amp_mgr->l2cap_conn->hcon become NULL here?

thanks,
