v4: Fix the 'create' racing 'remove' gap noted by Kirti by moving
    removal from mdev_list to mdev_device_release().  Fix missing
    mdev_put_parent() cases in mdev_device_create(), also noted
    by Kirti.  Added documention update regarding serialization as
    noted by Cornelia.  Added additional commit log comment about
    -EAGAIN vs -ENODEV for 'remove' racing 'create'.  Added second
    patch to re-order sysfs attributes, with this my targeted
    scripts can no longer hit the gap where -EAGAIN is regurned.
    BTW, the gap where the current code returns -ENODEV in this
    race condition is about 50% easier to hit than it exists in
    this series with patch 1 alone.

Thanks,
Alex
