Before I forget about this, on top of the series I sent out on Friday.

Subject: PCI / remove: Check parent kobject in pci_destroy_dev()

If pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device() is run concurrently for a device
and its parent bridge via remove_callback(), both code paths attempt
to acquire pci_rescan_remove_lock.  If the child device removal
acquires it first, there will be no problems.  However, if the parent
bridge removal acquires it first, it will eventually execute
pci_destroy_dev() for the child device, but that device object will
not be freed yet due to the reference held by the concurrent child
removal.  Consequently, both pci_stop_bus_device() and
pci_remove_bus_device() will be executed for that device unnecessarily
and pci_destroy_dev() will see a corrupted list head in that object.
Moreover, an excess put_device() will be executed for that device in
that case which may lead to a use-after-free in the final
kobject_put() done by sysfs_schedule_callback_work().

To avoid that problem, make pci_destroy_dev() check if the device's
parent kobject is NULL, which only happens after device_del() has
already run for it.  Make pci_destroy_dev() return immediately
whithout doing anything in that case.
