The matching entry is there, otherwise the USB core wouldn't call
driver's probe, and it holds a reference to the driver's .owner so no
deregister can happen here.

Umm, probably except for a small window between list manipulation and
usb_(de)register in usbatm_(de)register.  It can be fixed by moving the
release of the semaphore after the usb_(de)register.

Cheers,
  Roman.
