I examined hci_unregister_dev() and concluded that this can't work.

hci_sock_dev_event(hdev, HCI_DEV_UNREG) can't defer dropping the reference to
this hdev till hci_sock_release(), for hci_unregister_dev() cleans up everything
related to this hdev and calls hci_dev_put(hdev) and then vhci_release() calls
hci_free_dev(hdev).

That's the reason hci_sock_dev_event() has to use lock_sock() in order not to
miss some hci_dev_put(hdev) calls.

Despite your comment, I'd like to go with choice (3) for now. After lock_sock() became
free from delay caused by pagefault handling, we could consider updating to choice (1).
