Subject: [PATCH 2/4] firewire: fw-cdev: use device generation, not card
 generation

We have to use the fw_device.generation here, not the fw_card.generation,
because the generation must never be newer than the node ID when we emit
a transaction.  This cannot be guaranteed with fw_card.generation.

This code also needs barriers to work precisely as intended.  They will
be added by a subsequent patch which consistently updates readers and
writers of .generation and .node_id.
