Shiraz Saleem 06f8174a97 IB/core: Protect sysfs entry on ib_unregister_device
ib_unregister_device is not protecting removal of sysfs entries.
A call to ib_register_device in that window can result in
duplicate sysfs entry warning. Move mutex_unlock to after
ib_device_unregister_sysfs to protect against sysfs entry creation.

This issue is exposed during driver load/unload stress test.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
