[PATCH 2/36] Driver core: fix "driver" symlink timing

[Greg KH <greg@kroah.com>]

From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@novell.com>

Create the "driver" link before the child device may be created by
the probing logic. This makes it possible for userspace (udev), to
determine the driver property of the parent device, at the time the
child device is created.
