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.
