Subject: [PATCH v2 2/7] libnvdimm/bus: Prevent duplicate device_unregister()
 calls

A multithreaded namespace creation/destruction stress test currently
fails with signatures like the following:

    sysfs group 'power' not found for kobject 'dax1.1'
    RIP: 0010:sysfs_remove_group+0x76/0x80

    BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020

Use the kill_device() helper to atomically resolve the race of multiple
threads issuing kill, device_unregister(), requests.
