firewire: enforce access order between generation and node ID, fix "giving up on config rom"
fw_device.node_id and fw_device.generation are accessed without mutexes. We have to ensure that all readers will get to see node_id updates before generation updates. Fixes an inability to recognize devices after "giving up on config rom", https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=429950 Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Reviewed by Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au>. Verified to fix 'giving up on config rom' issues on multiple system and drive combinations that were previously affected.
