force_bredr_smp_write() calls smp_force_bredr() without hci_dev_lock().
That helper checks HCI_FORCE_BREDR_SMP, updates hdev->smp_bredr_data,
and then toggles the force flag.

Two same-value writers can both pass the state check and run the same
enable or disable transition on one hdev. On the disable side, one writer
can clear hdev->smp_bredr_data while the other still observes the old
force flag and later passes NULL into smp_del_chan(). The double
transition can also leave the force flag out of sync with the requested
state.

Take hci_dev_lock() around smp_force_bredr() in the debugfs write path so
each request observes and applies one stable BR/EDR SMP transition.

Validation reproduced this kernel report:
