driver-core: Fix use-after-free triggered by bus_unregister()

Avoid that bus_unregister() triggers a use-after-free with
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y. This patch avoids that the
following sequence triggers a kernel crash with memory poisoning
enabled:
* bus_register()
* driver_register()
* driver_unregister()
* bus_unregister()

The above sequence causes the bus private data to be freed from
inside the bus_unregister() call although it is not guaranteed in
that function that the reference count on the bus private data has
dropped to zero. As an example, with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y
the ${bus}/drivers kobject is still holding a reference on
bus->p->subsys.kobj via its parent pointer at the time the bus
private data is freed. Fix this by deferring freeing the bus private
data until the last kobject_put() call on bus->p->subsys.kobj.

The kernel oops triggered by the above sequence and with memory
poisoning enabled and that is fixed by this patch is as follows:
