[PATCH 3.4 150/176] Drivers: hv: vmbus: incorrect device name is printed when child device is unregistered

[lizf]

From: Fernando Soto <fsoto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.4.107-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit 84672369ffb98a51d4ddf74c20a23636da3ad615 upstream.

Whenever a device is unregistered in vmbus_device_unregister (drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.c), the device name in the log message may contain garbage as the memory has already been freed by the time pr_info is called. Log example:
 [ 3149.170475] hv_vmbus: child device ÃÃsÃÃ0_5 unregistered

By logging the message just before calling device_unregister, the correct device name is printed:
[ 3145.034652] hv_vmbus: child device vmbus_0_5 unregistered

Also changing register & unregister messages to debug to avoid unnecessarily cluttering the kernel log.
