Actually, having thought about it a bit more, I don't see the point in
preventing the removal of the device from the list in device_pm_remove() if
we allow all of the operations in device_del() preceding it to be performed.
Shouldn't we just take pm_sleep_rwsem in device_del() upfront and block on that
if locked?
