    DEVFS - fix possible panic on devfs_release_ops
    
    * under certain conditions on unloading a module it could happen that
      the memory containing the dev_ops was released before devfs_release_
      ops could happen due to the asynchronous nature of destroy_dev.
      Fix this saving only a pointer to the ops and not using it to store
      anything but rather use a local tailq for reference counting the
      dev_ops.
