[RFC][PATCH 2/2] PNP: Avoid leaving unregistered device objects in lists

["Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@rjwysocki.net>]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

pnp_register_protocol() and __pnp_add_device() both have the problem
that if device_register() fails, the objects they create will be left
in the lists they have been put on beforehand.  Unfortunately, that
is not handled by the callers of those routines either, so in case
of a device registration errors the PNP bus type's data structures
will end up in an inconsistent state.

Make pnp_register_protocol() and __pnp_add_device() remove the
objects from the lists if device registration fails.

In addition to that, since pnp_lock is a mutex now, device registration
can be put under it too to avoid the gap in which the device is in the
PNP bus type's lists, but has not been registered yet (or the other
way around during removal).
