Subject: [PATCH] w1: do not unlock unheld list_mutex in __w1_remove_master_device()

w1_process_callbacks() expects to be called with dev->list_mutex held,
but it is the fact only in w1_process(). __w1_remove_master_device()
calls w1_process_callbacks() after it releases list_mutex.

The patch fixes __w1_remove_master_device() to acquire list_mutex
for w1_process_callbacks(). It is implemented by moving
w1_process_callbacks() functionality to __w1_process_callbacks()
and adding a wrapper with the old name.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
