How would ->remove be called after ->shutdown has been called? Aren't
the two calls already exclusive - if ->remove has been called, the
device is no longer bound to the driver, so ->shutdown can't be called
for the device. If ->shutdown has been called, the system is going
down, and userspace is probably already dead.
