device_links_driver_bound() drops managed sync-state-only links after a
consumer successfully probes, then re-evaluates each affected supplier
for a sync_state() callback.

Frameworks which populate child devices below a driverless device need
to complete the same lifecycle step, but cannot rely on a successful
driver probe to trigger it.

Factor the existing cleanup into a lock-held helper and reuse it from
device_links_driver_bound(). Add a public locking wrapper so frameworks
which populate children below driverless devices can retire temporary
fw_devlink proxy links without affecting real dependency or runtime-PM
links.
