[BUG] net: WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:481 sysfs_add_one+0xb7/0xe0()

[Sasha Levin]

Hi,

When closing and opening a HCI device, a device id may be assigned
before the previous one was fully released. It manifests itself for
example in a warning when the new sysfs entry is being added before the
previous one was deleted:
