Subject: [PATCH 1/2] driver-core: allow asynchronous device shutdown

A patch to allow .shutdown to execute asynchronously. Some devices may
take a long time to complete a shutdown, so this patch lets a driver
safely shutdown multiple devices asynchronously.

This uses an exclusive asynchronous domain so other unrelated async
tasks can't cause shutdown to hold up indefinitely.
