Have you considered to move that async_synchronize_full() call into bus_remove_driver()? Verifying the correctness of this patch requires to check whether the async_synchronize_full() comes after the klist_remove(&drv->p->knode_bus) call. That verification is easier when the async_synchronize_full() call occurs in bus_remove_driver() instead of in driver_detach().
