__hci_cmd_sync_sk() returns NULL if a command returns a status event
as there are no parameters.
Fix __hci_cmd_sync_sk() to not return NULL.

Dear Luiz, could you review this? This bug and fix are still valid but
have been forgotten for some reason.

How do you think about to use a summary phrase like
“Prevent null pointer dereference in hci_read_supported_codecs()”?
…

Would you like to add a “stable tag” accordingly?
