driver core: Establish order of operations for device_add and device_del via bitflag

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1840378
commit 3451a495ef244a88ed6317a035299d835554d579 upstream.

Add an additional bit flag to the device_private struct named "dead".

This additional flag provides a guarantee that when a device_del is
executed on a given interface an async worker will not attempt to attach
the driver following the earlier device_del call. Previously this
guarantee was not present and could result in the device_del call
attempting to remove a driver from an interface only to have the async
worker attempt to probe the driver later when it finally completes the
asynchronous probe call.

One additional change added was that I pulled the check for dev->driver
out of the __device_attach_driver call and instead placed it in the
__device_attach_async_helper call. This was motivated by the fact that the
only other caller of this, __device_attach, had already taken the
device_lock() and checked for dev->driver. Instead of testing for this
twice in this path it makes more sense to just consolidate the dev->dead
and dev->driver checks together into one set of checks.
