There are lots of checks like this in hci_event.c. If there's going to
be a patch for them I'd remove all of them in one go instead of
addressing individual ones like this.

There is some benefit of keeping them though: the code doesn't need to
check for pending mgmt commands, encode event messages and iterate
through all HCI sockets just to figure out that that that nothing needs
to be done.
