driver core: fix race between creating/querying glue dir and its cleanup
commit cebf8fd1 upstream. The global mutex of 'gdp_mutex' is used to serialize creating/querying glue dir and its cleanup. Turns out it isn't a perfect way because part(kobj_kset_leave()) of the actual cleanup action() is done inside the release handler of the glue dir kobject. That means gdp_mutex has to be held before releasing the last reference count of the glue dir kobject. This patch moves glue dir's cleanup after kobject_del() in device_del() for avoiding the race.
