4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit b6eae0f61db27748606cc00dafcfd1e2c032f0a5 upstream.
Unlike asynchronous initialization in the core we have not yet associated
the device with the parent, and as such the device doesn't hold a reference
to the parent.
In order to resolve that we should be holding a reference on the parent
until the asynchronous initialization has completed.
