From: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@xxxxxxxxx> The SMP code expects hdev to be unlocked since e.g. crypto functions will try to (re)lock it. Therefore, we need to release the lock before calling into smp.c from mgmt.c. Without this we risk a deadlock whenever the smp_user_confirm_reply() function is called.
