sysfs_remove_group() waits for sysfs attributes to be removed, therefore
we do not need to worry about driver-specific attributes being accessed
after driver has been detached from the device. In fact, attempts to take
serio->drv_mutex in attribute methods may lead to the following deadlock:
sysfs_read_file()
fill_read_buffer()
sysfs_get_active_two()
psmouse_attr_show_helper()
serio_pin_driver()
serio_disconnect_driver()
mutex_lock(&serio->drv_mutex);
<--------> mutex_lock(&serio_drv_mutex);
psmouse_disconnect()
sysfs_remove_group(... psmouse_attr_group);
....
sysfs_deactivate();
wait_for_completion();
Fix this by removing calls to serio_[un]pin_driver() and functions themselves
and using driver-private mutexes to serialize access to attribute's set()
methods that may change device state.
