device-core: use RCU for list of children of a bus


This fixes the race between device emulation code that tries to find
a child device to dispatch the request to (e.g a scsi disk),
and hotplug of a new device to that bus.

Note that this doesn't convert all the readers of the list
but only these that might go over that list without BQL held.

This is a very small first step to make this code thread safe.

[Use RCU_READ_LOCK_GUARD in more places, adjust testcase now that
 the delay in DEVICE_DELETED due to RCU is more consistent. - Paolo]
