I don't think it helps.

One of problems we are seeing (and my patch will fix) is a race window that
this sk_for_each() loop needs to wait using lock_sock() because
"hci_pi(sk)->hdev = hdev;" is called by hci_sock_bind() under lock_sock().
Doing hci_pi(sk)->hdev == hdev comparison without lock_sock() will lead to
failing to "/* Detach sockets from device */".
