Expose device link details in sysfs") caused sleeping/scheduling while

Exception stack(0xee921fb0 to 0xee921ff8)
This was caused by the device link device being released in the context
of srcu_invoke_callbacks(). There is no need to wait till the RCU
callback to release the device link device. So release the device
earlier and move the call_srcu() into the device release code. That way,
the memory will get freed only after the device is released AND the RCU
callback is called.
