If device is removal is initiated by two threads as below, mdev core
attempts to create a syfs remove file on stale device.
During this flow, below [1] call trace is observed.

mdev_unregister_device()

sysfs_create_file()
..Call trace
Now that mdev core follows correct device removal sequence of the linux
bus model, remove shouldn't fail in normal cases. If it fails, there is
no point of creating a stale file or checking for specific error status.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
