libnvdimm/bus: Prevent duplicate device_unregister() calls

commit 8aac0e2338916e273ccbd438a2b7a1e8c61749f5 upstream.

A multithreaded namespace creation/destruction stress test currently
fails with signatures like the following:

    sysfs group 'power' not found for kobject 'dax1.1'
    RIP: 0010:sysfs_remove_group+0x76/0x80

    BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020

Use the kill_device() helper to atomically resolve the race of multiple
threads issuing kill, device_unregister(), requests.
