firewire: fill_bus_reset_event needs lock protection
Callers of fill_bus_reset_event() have to take card->lock. Otherwise access to node data may oops if node removal is in progress. A lockless alternative would be - event->local_node_id = card->local_node->node_id; + tmp = fw_node_get(card->local_node); + event->local_node_id = tmp->node_id; + fw_node_put(tmp); and ditto with the other node pointers which fill_bus_reset_event() accesses. But I went the locked route because one of the two callers already holds the lock. As a bonus, we don't need the memory barrier anymore because device->generation and device->node_id are written in a card->lock protected section.
