The idea here is that lookup by handle shall always be safe since if
hci_conn_del has already been called the conn shall no longer be in
the hash, now perhaps what you are afraid is that hci_conn_del is not
safe to be called concurrently, which is probably correct, so perhaps
we need a flag or something to check that HCI_CONN_DEL is in progress.
