This patch might be a better fit before the previous one. When going
from S1 to S2 or bypass:
Pre-both patches, attach_dev() installs a NULL STE, then clears the
now unused CDE, then installs a new STE.
After the previous patch, attach_dev() clears the *still used* CDE,
and then replaces the STE.
After this patch, attach_dev() replaces the STE, and then clears the CDE

Reordering the two patches removes the scenario where we could hit a
NULL-ed CDE.
