[PATCH] w1_therm, don't let the slave go away while in w1_slave_show

From: David Fries
Date: Sat Mar 07 2015 - 23:25:37 EST


A temperature conversion can take 750 ms to complete, if the sensor is
externally powered it releases the bus_mutex while it waits, but if
the slave device is removed sl becomes a dangling pointer.
The race condition window can be 10 * 750 ms = 7.5 seconds if the crc
check fails.
