ieee1394: nodemgr: revise semaphore protection of driver core data
- The list "struct class.children" is supposed to be protected by class.sem, not by class.subsys.rwsem. - nodemgr_remove_uds() iterated over nodemgr_ud_class.children without proper protection. This was never observed as a bug since the code is usually only accessed by knodemgrd. All knodemgrds are currently globally serialized. But userspace can trigger this code too by writing to /sys/bus/ieee1394/destroy_node. - Clean up access to the FireWire bus type's subsys.rwsem: Access it uniformly via ieee1394_bus_type. Shrink rwsem protected regions where possible. Expand them where necessary. The latter wasn't a problem so far because knodemgr is globally serialized. This should harden the interaction of ieee1394 with sysfs and lay ground for deserialized operation of multiple knodemgrds and for implementation of subthreads for parallelized scanning and probing.
