[PATCH] power: remove possible deadlock when unregistering power_supply

From: Benjamin Tissoires
Date: Mon Jun 25 2018 - 03:51:58 EST

If a device gets removed right after having registered a power_supply node,
we might enter in a deadlock between the remove call (that has a lock on
the parent device) and the deferred register work.

Allow the deferred register work to exit without taking the lock when
we are in the remove state.
