#5421: kernel_daemons are called with the lock held

This does cause trouble with the legacy driver implementation, since that
one calls init_driver() with the driver lock held -- if that registers a
kernel daemon (like the floppy driver), a deadlock may happen.
The solution would be to either not lock when calling into the driver, or
changing the kernel daemon not to lock when calling the functions.
