Saravana Kannan 843e600b8a driver core: Fix sleeping in invalid context during device link deletion
Marek and Guenter reported that commit 287905e68d ("driver core:
Expose device link details in sysfs") caused sleeping/scheduling while
atomic warnings.

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:935
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 12, name: kworker/0:1

Exception stack(0xee921fb0 to 0xee921ff8)

This was caused by the device link device being released in the context
of srcu_invoke_callbacks().  There is no need to wait till the RCU
callback to release the device link device.  So release the device
earlier and move the call_srcu() into the device release code. That way,
the memory will get freed only after the device is released AND the RCU
callback is called.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
