This would also need to either grab another reference or move the
reference drops since shutdown_one_device may drop the last reference
the task owns to parent and dev. Since shutdown_one_device ends up
called in 2 places in the next patch, perhaps would be best to split
the bulk into another function, then have shutdown_one_device be a
wrapper like:

if (dev->parent && dev->bus && dev->bus->need_parent_lock) {
device_lock(dev->parent);
__shutdown_one_device(dev);
device_unlock(dev->parent);
} else {
__shutdown_one_device(dev);
}
put_device(dev->parent);
put_device(dev);
