> 
> Whenever a device is unregistered in vmbus_device_unregister
> (drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.c), the device name in the log message may contain
> garbage as the memory has already been freed by the time pr_info is called. 
> Log
> example:
>  [ 3149.170475] hv_vmbus: child device àõsèè0_5 unregistered
> 
> By logging the message just before calling device_unregister, the correct 
> device
> name is printed:
> [ 3145.034652] hv_vmbus: child device vmbus_0_5 unregistered
> 
> Also changing register & unregister messages to debug to avoid unnecessarily
> cluttering the kernel log.
