Subject[PATCH] driver core: fix shutdown races with probe/remove(v2)
Date
Firstly, .shutdown callback may touch a uninitialized hardware
if dev->driver is set and .probe is not completed.

Secondly, device_shutdown() may dereference a null pointer to cause
oops when dev->driver is cleared after it is checked in
device_shutdown().

So just try to hold device lock and its parent lock(if it has) to
fix the races.

v2:
- take Alan's suggestion to use device_trylock to avoid
hanging during shutdown by buggy device or driver
- hold parent reference counter
