There is a race window in device_shutdown(), which may cause
-1. parent device shut down before child or
-2. no shutdown on a new probing device.
For 1st, taking the following scenario:
device_shutdown new plugin device
list_del_init(parent_dev);
spin_unlock(list_lock);
device_add(child)
probe child
shutdown parent_dev
--> now child is on the tail of devices_kset
For 2nd, taking the following scenario:
device_shutdown new plugin device
device_add(dev)
device_lock(dev);
...
device_unlock(dev);
probe dev
--> now, the new occurred dev has no opportunity to shutdown
To fix this race issue, just prevent the new probing request. With this
logic, device_shutdown() is more similar to dpm_prepare().
