Locking is not needed to do get_device(dev->parent). We either get a NULL
(if the parent was cleared) or the actual parent. Also, when a device is
deleted (device_del()) and removed from the dpm_list, its completion
variable is also complete_all()-ed. So, we don't have to worry about
waiting indefinitely on a deleted parent device.
