Subject: Fix 2.6.21 rfcomm lockups
From: Mark Lord <lkml@xxxxxx>
Any attempt to open/use a bluetooth rfcomm device locks up
scheduling completely on my machine.
Interrupts (ping, alt-sysrq) seem to be alive, but nothing else.
This was working fine in 2.6.20, broken now in 2.6.21-rc2-git*
Reverting this change (below) fixes it:

| | [Bluetooth] Make use of device_move() for RFCOMM TTY devices
| | In the case of bound RFCOMM TTY devices the parent is not available
| before its usage. So when opening a RFCOMM TTY device, move it to
| the corresponding ACL device as a child. When closing the device,
| move it back to the virtual device tree.

The simplest fix for this bug is to prevent sysfs_move_dir()
from self-deadlocking when (old_parent == new_parent).
This patch prevents total system lockup when using rfcomm devices.
