Stefan Richter 96b19062e7 firewire: fix "kobject_add failed for fw* with -EEXIST"
There is a race between shutdown and creation of devices:  fw-core may
attempt to add a device with the same name of an already existing
device.  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9828

Impact of the bug:  Happens rarely (when shutdown of a device coincides
with creation of another), forces the user to unplug and replug the new
device to get it working.

The fix is obvious:  Free the minor number *after* instead of *before*
device_unregister().  This requires to take an additional reference of
the fw_device as long as the IDR tree points to it.

And while we are at it, we fix an additional race condition:
fw_device_op_open() took its reference of the fw_device a little bit too
late, hence was in danger to access an already invalid fw_device.
