driver core: fix shutdown races with probe/remove(v3)
Firstly, .shutdown callback may touch a uninitialized hardware if dev->driver is set and .probe is not completed. Secondly, device_shutdown() may dereference a null pointer to cause oops when dev->driver is cleared after it has been checked in device_shutdown(). So just hold device lock and its parent lock(if it has) to fix the races.
