[PATCH] driver core: fix async device shutdown hang

[Stuart Hayes]

Modify device_shutdown() so that supplier devices do not wait for
consumer devices to be shut down first when the devlink is sync state
only, since the consumer is not dependent on the supplier in this case.

Without this change, a circular dependency could hang the system.
