Greg Kroah-Hartman 74e9f5fa15 Driver core: remove unneeded completion from driver release path
The completion in the driver release path is due to ancient history in
the _very_ early 2.5 days when we were not tracking the module reference
count of attributes.  It is not needed at all and can be removed.

Note, we now have an empty release function for the driver structure.
This is due to the fact that drivers are statically allocated in the
system at this point in time, something which I want to change in the
future.  But remember, drivers are really code, which is reference
counted by the module, unlike devices, which are data and _must_ be
reference counted properly in order to work correctly.
