In bug 1131619, we found a case were malloc error checks by errno actually didn't work. It's probably safer to convert bluetoothd to use the common scheme of testing malloc errors by return value.

Let's block for this bug.
Depends on: 1130271
If v2.2 will be supported on the Z3, we should back-port this fix. Otherwise it's probably not important.

Patch includes prevention of false positives and null checks.  I think it's a good idea to take these patches.
