[PATCH] Prevent sysfs-related oops in pcmcia class code

[Russell King]

Although no such oops has been reported, removing a socket driver
while a file under /sysfs/class/pcmcia_socket/pcmcia_socket* is
held open by user space could potentially cause an oops.

Plug this by preventing pcmcia_unregister_socket from returning
until all references by sysfs to the pcmcia socket have been
dropped.

This patch is against my current bk tree, so will apply with offsets
to 2.5.71.
