Subject: [RFC][PATCH 1/5] driver core: Add a wrapper around __device_release_driver()

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

Add an internal wrapper around __device_release_driver() that will
acquire device locks and do the necessary checks before calling it.

The next patch will make use of it.
