I think this was discussed and ACKed by security, the time needed to
reboot is enough to prevent any real bruteforcing of the password.

Title:
rebooting defeats the screen lock timeout
Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
If you enable pin unlock, then repeatedly enter the incorrect pin,
eventually you'll get a message stating that the phone cannot be
unlocked for 5 minutes. However, this restriction can be trivially
bypassed by simply rebooting the phone (which takes less than 5
minutes :-)
