Maybe. But the suggested patch is certainly risky.
There is no requirement the consumer is registered before the links
are added though. So, randomly deleting a managed link when
device_link_put_kref() is called on a stateless refcount (they are
still the same link still) isn't right. The entity that created the
managed device link might still want it there. Also, if two entities
create a managed link and one of them calls device_link_put_kref()
before the device is registered, we have a UAF problem because managed
links aren't refcounted (more than once).
