[PATCH 3/9] driver core: warn should device_move try to move a need_parent_lock device

[David Jeffery]

Currently, no device has need_parent_lock set and is moved by
device_move. need_parent_lock is only set by the usb bus and very
few device types ever use device_move.

Add a warning to device_move to catch should it ever be used on a
device with need_parent_lock set. The combination would break
the immutable relationship needed between parent and child for
need_parent_lock when locking and unlocking both.
