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 :-)
