PATCH 1/1 w1_therm reference count family data

A temperature conversion can take 750 ms and when possible the w1_therm slave driver drops the bus_mutex to allow other bus operations, but that includes operations such as a periodic slave search, which can remove this slave when it is no longer detected. If that happens the sl->family_data will be freed and set to NULL causing w1_slave_show to crash when it wakes up.

---
This should be applied to the stable series as well. In the name of full disclosure, this just narrows the race window, from crashing in normal operation on the reporters system to no longer crashing with multiple readers and another process hammering on inserting/removing the slave device.

This patch has been tested for some weeks by those who were affected, Evgeniy Polyakov (maintainer) has approved this fix with the intention of switching to sysfs device reference counting (as w1_slave_show is called through sysfs).
