result in crashes like this:

Note that this crash happened _after_ firewire-core was unloaded.  The
shared workqueue tried to run firewire-core's device initialization jobs
or similar jobs.

The fix makes sure that firewire-ohci and hence firewire-core is not
unloaded before all device shutdown jobs have been completed.  This is
determined by the count of device initializations minus device releases.

Also skip useless retries in the node initialization job if the node is
to be shut down.
