Driver core: create lock/unlock functions for struct device



In the future, we are going to be changing the lock type for struct
device (once we get the lockdep infrastructure properly worked out)  To
make that changeover easier, and to possibly burry the lock in a
different part of struct device, let's create some functions to lock and
unlock a device so that no out-of-core code needs to be changed in the
future.

This patch creates the device_lock/unlock/trylock() functions, and
converts all in-tree users to them.
