3.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Hans-Frieder Vogt <hfv...@gmx.net>
commit bc04d76d6942068f75c10790072280b847ec6f1f upstream.
request_module for w1 slave modules needs to be called with the w1
master mutex unlocked. Because w1_attach_slave_device gets always(?)
called with mutex locked, we need to temporarily unlock the w1 master
mutex for the loading of the w1 slave module.
