------------------------------------------------------
Subject: revert "driver core: do not wait unnecessarily in driver_unregister()"
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Revert f5ef2abcbeb5b0be23f7cc610a024b2406e3d8e6.
Greg says "please revert this patch. It merely papers over the fact that
there is a reference count still around that never gets released. Kay's patch
that Andrew just forwarded to you fixes the real problem, which other people
had noticed and this patch does not fix."
