There are races WRT walking the lists of the buses and classes and the device being unregistered while it's the current node we're accessing. If the node was deleted, ->next would point to itself, and we'd sit in an inifinite loop (until that memory was freed from underneath us and we Oops'd). This changes device_unregister() to only mark the device as not present. put_device() deletes the device from all the lists it belongs to, while holding device_lock, then drops it to call device_del(). This should guarantee that everything in the device is valid until the last reference goes away, regardless of whether it's still physically present or not.
