power_supply: Use wrappers to avoid races when registering power supply
Use wrappers over get_property() and set_property() internally in power
supply and for sysfs interface. The wrappers provide safe access if
power supply is not yet registered or t is being destroyed.
In case of syfs the theoretical race could happen between ending of
driver's probe and parallel sysfs access:
some_driver_probe() userspace
==================================== ===========================
drv->psy = power_supply_register()
device_add()
sysfs entries are created
atomic_inc(&psy->use_cnt);
store on sysfs attributes
drv->set_property()
dereference of drv->psy
drv->psy = returned psy;
For leds the race could happen between power supply being destroyed and
ongoing power_supply_changed_work().
