Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Driver Core: do not oops when driver_unregister() is called for unregistered drivers

From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@...y.org>

We also fix a problem with cleaning up properly when initializing
drivers and devices, so checks like this will work successfully.

Portions of the patch by Linus and Greg and Ingo.
