[PATCH master v2] base: driver: fix double removal of child devices

Child devices like an ext4 file system on a partition may be removed
twice: Once because they're in the active devices list and then once
more, because unregister_device is called for the children of its parent.

As struct bus_type::remove clears association of a driver with its
device, we can set struct device_d::driver to NULL. unregister_device
will then skip the second dev->bus->remove.

Fixes: 29f1c211d86c ("fs: don't free device in remove callback")
