[PATCH] bluetooth: fix locking in hci_sock_dev_event()

We presently use lock_sock() to acquire a lock on a socket in
hci_sock_dev_event(), but this goes BUG because lock_sock()
can sleep and we're already holding a read-write spinlock at
that point. So, we must use the non-sleeping BH version,
bh_lock_sock().

However, hci_sock_dev_event() is called from user context and
hence using simply bh_lock_sock() will deadlock against a
concurrent softirq that tries to acquire a lock on the same
socket. Hence, disabling BH's before acquiring the socket lock
and enable them afterwards, is the proper solution to fix
socket locking in hci_sock_dev_event().

BTW, your email client corrupted the patch spaces and tabs
a lot, I applied your patch by hand but I will not do that
next time. Please look into getting your email client to
not corrupt the patches you send out, thank you.

Ick. That's the second time pine did that to me. Doesn't seem
to happen consistently/reproducibly, but I'll try to fix it
nonetheless, thanks.
