Subject: PM: export device_pm_schedule_removal
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx>

The following series of patches is intended to fix the suspend/resume deadlock
occuring as a result of unregistering device objects, locked by the PM core,
during suspend/resume cycles by the b43 driver.

In short, the b43 driver is modified to avoid unregistering device objects
during suspend/resume cycles except for the resume code path, in which the
devices are unregistered using the recently introduced suspend-safe method. 
For this purpose, it is necessary to introduce the possibility to safely
remove misc devices, leds classdevs and hwrng devices during suspend/resume
cycles (patches 2/5, 4/5, 3/5, respectively).


This patch:

Move the declaration of device_pm_schedule_removal() to device.h and make it
exported, as it will be used directly by some drivers for unregistering device
objects during suspend/resume cycles in a safe way.
