Subject: [PATCH] firewire: core: fix iso context shutdown on card removal

If isochronous contexts existed when firewire-ohci was unloaded, the
core iso shutdown functions crashed with NULL dereferences and buffers
etc. weren't released.

The fix works thus that we first copy the card driver's iso shutdown
hooks into the dummy driver, then fw_destroy_nodes notifies upper layers
of devices going away, these should shut down (including their iso
contexts), wait_for_completion(&card->done) will be triggered after
upper layers gave up all fw_device references, after which the card
driver's shutdown proceeds.
