      Note that this crash happened _after_ firewire-core was unloaded.  The
      shared workqueue tried to run firewire-core's device initialization jobs
      or similar jobs.
      
      The fix makes sure that firewire-ohci and hence firewire-core is not
      unloaded before all device shutdown jobs have been completed.  This is
      determined by the count of device initializations minus device releases.
      
      Also skip useless retries in the node initialization job if the node is
      to be shut down.

      firewire: potentially invalid pointers used in fw_card_bm_work · 15803478
      Stefan Richter authored
      The bus management workqueue job was in danger to dereference NULL
      pointers.  Also, after having temporarily lifted card->lock, a few node
      pointers and a device pointer may have become invalid.
      
      Add NULL pointer checks and get the necessary references.  Also, move
      card->local_node out of fw_card_bm_work's sight during shutdown of the
      card.
