commit 8aac0e2338916e273ccbd438a2b7a1e8c61749f5 upstream.
A multithreaded namespace creation/destruction stress test currently
fails with signatures like the following:
sysfs group 'power' not found for kobject 'dax1.1'

Use the kill_device() helper to atomically resolve the race of multiple
threads issuing kill, device_unregister(), requests.
