driver core: Add a guard() definition for the device_lock()
At present there are ~200 usages of device_lock() in the kernel. Some of
those usages lead to "goto unlock;" patterns which have proven to be
error prone. Define a "device" guard() definition to allow for those to
be cleaned up and prevent new ones from appearing.
