I did check that the naming is ordered right, at least we won't be
concurrently creating and destroying umadX sysfs of the same names.

I'm also fairly sure we can't be destroying the parent at the same
time as this child.

Do you see the above commonly? Could it be some driver core thing? Or
is it more likely something wrong in umad?
