Subject: [111/262] WMI: properly cleanup devices to avoid crashes

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@...il.com>

commit 023b9565972a4a5e0f01b9aa32680af6e9b5c388 upstream.

We need to remove devices that we destroy from the list, otherwise
we'll crash if there are more than one "_WDG" methods in DSDT.

This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32052
