While adding devices to their PM domains, dev_pm_qos_add_notifier() was invoked while allocating the generic_pm_domain_data for the device. Since the generic_pm_domain_data's device pointer will be assigned after allocation, the ->genpd_dev_pm_qos_notifier() callback could be called prior having a valid pointer to the device. Similar scenario existed while removing a device from a genpd. To cope with these scenarios a mutex was used to protect the pointer to the device. By re-order the sequence for when dev_pm_qos_add|remove_notifier() are invoked, we make sure the ->genpd_dev_pm_qos_notifier() callback are always called with a valid device pointer available. In this way, we eliminate the need for protecting the pointer and thus we can remove the mutex from the struct generic_pm_domain_data.
