Try to consolidate all of the locking and unlocking of both the parent and device when attaching or removing a driver from a given device. To do that I first consolidated the lock pattern into two functions __device_driver_lock and __device_driver_unlock. After doing that I then created functions specific to attaching and detaching the driver while acquiring these locks. By doing this I was able to reduce the number of spots where we touch need_parent_lock from 12 down to 4. This patch should produce no functional changes, it is meant to be a code clean-up/consolidation only.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
