Right, but the "real" fix would be to add a bus notifier that is called
after the device driver released the device and use this one instead of
BUS_NOTIFY_DEL_DEVICE.
But that change wouldn't be suitable for -stable and just removing the
event handler for BUS_NOTIFY_DEL_DEVICE would cause resource leakage
again on hotplug, so I think this "fix" is the best for now.
We can re-add the BUG_ON when we have a real fix upstream.
