Or even modify device_link_put_kref() like this:

 static void device_link_put_kref(struct device_link *link)
 {
          if (link->flags & DL_FLAG_STATELESS)
                  kref_put(&link->kref, __device_link_del);
+        else if (!device_is_registered(link->consumer))
+                __device_link_del(link);
          else
                 WARN(1, "Unable to drop a managed device link reference\n");
 }
