I read the whole driver, and udev does not seem to be nulled anywhere
except in stub_probe(), where it is only assigned. So, we can safely
check for null udev alone. The driver itself seems to hold itself
together as currently I don't see a potential race. probe() also 
cannot run as we set our status to STUB_BUSID_OTHER under lock so 
probe would ignore that too. Am I missing something else here that
could create a potential race? Please advise.

Thanks,
Jeffin.
