[PATCH] Add a semaphore to struct device to synchronize calls to its driver.

[PATCH] Add a semaphore to struct device to synchronize calls to its driver.

This adds a per-device semaphore that is taken before every call from the core to a
driver method. This prevents e.g. simultaneous calls to the ->suspend() or ->resume()
and ->probe() or ->release(), potentially saving a whole lot of headaches.

It also moves us a step closer to removing the bus rwsem, since it protects the fields
in struct device that are modified by the core.
