This is a good check, however, this check will not prevent
media_device_unregister() from getting run twice by two
different drivers. i.e media_devnode gets unregistered
towards the end of at the end of media_device_unregister().

In an example case, if bridge driver and snd-usb-aduio both
call media_device_unregister(), this check won't help prevent
media_device_unregister() being done only once. I think we
need a different state variable in struct media_device
to ensure unregister is done only once.
