Also forgot to #include <asm/system.h> in some of the files.  Here is
the final product, for the record.

Subject: firewire: enforce access order between generation and node ID, fix "giving up on config rom"

fw_device.node_id and fw_device.generation are accessed without mutexes.
We have to ensure that all readers will get to see node_id updates
before generation updates.

Fixes an inability to recognize devices after "giving up on config rom",
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=429950

Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Reviewed by Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>.

Verified to fix 'giving up on config rom' issues on multiple system and
drive combinations that were previously affected.
