Unbinding an I/O subchannel with a child-CCW device in disconnected state sometimes causes a kernel-panic. The race condition was seen mostly during testing, when setting all the CHPIDs of a device to offline and at the same time, the unbinding the I/O subchannel driver. The kernel-panic occurs because of double delete, the I/O subchannel driver calls device_del on the CCW device while another device_del invocation for the same device is in-flight. For instance, disabling all the CHPIDs will trigger the ccw_device_remove function, which will call a ccw_device_unregister(), which ends up calling the device_del() which is asynchronous via cdev's todo workqueue. And unbinding the I/O subchannel driver calls io_subchannel_remove() function which calls the ccw_device_unregister() and device_del(). This double delete can be prevented by serializing all CCW device registration/unregistration calls into the driver core. This patch introduces a mutex which will be used for this purpose.
