4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
commit e121a833745b4708b660e3fe6776129c2956b041 upstream.
__device_release_driver() has to check dev->bus->need_parent_lock
before dropping the parent lock and acquiring it again as it may
attempt to drop a lock that hasn't been acquired or lock a device
that shouldn't be locked and create a lock imbalance.
Fixes: 8c97a46af04b (driver core: hold dev's parent lock when needed)
