[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().
