drivers: core: Remove glue dirs from sysfs earlier
For devices with a class, we create a "glue" directory between
the parent device and the new device with the class name.
This directory is never "explicitely" removed when empty however,
this is left to the implicit sysfs removal done by kobject_release()
when the object loses its last reference via kobject_put().
This is problematic because as long as it's not been removed from
sysfs, it is still present in the class kset and in sysfs directory
structure.
The presence in the class kset exposes a use after free bug fixed
by the previous patch, but the presence in sysfs means that until
the kobject is released, which can take a while (especially with
kobject debugging), any attempt at re-creating such as binding a
new device for that class/parent pair, will result in a sysfs
duplicate file name error.
This fixes it by instead doing an explicit kobject_del() when
the glue dir is empty, by keeping track of the number of
child devices of the gluedir.
This is made easy by the fact that all glue dir operations are
done with a global mutex, and there's already a function
(cleanup_glue_dir) called in all the right places taking that
mutex that can be enhanced for this. It appears that this was
in fact the intent of the function, but the implementation was
wrong.
