driver model: make device_unregister() only mark device as !present.

There are races WRT walking the lists of the buses and classes and the 
device being unregistered while it's the current node we're accessing. If 
the node was deleted, ->next would point to itself, and we'd sit in an
inifinite loop (until that memory was freed from underneath us and we Oops'd).

This changes device_unregister() to only mark the device as not present. put_device()
deletes the device from all the lists it belongs to, while holding device_lock,
then drops it to call device_del().

This should guarantee that everything in the device is valid until the last reference
goes away, regardless of whether it's still physically present or not.
