So, at first I thought you were right, and was going to rewrite on
that basis.

Then I realized that calling hotplug_handler_unplug() is a bizarrely
roundabout way of doing what we need anyway (usually the unplug
handler is never called if there is an unplug_request() handler).
Once we expand those out to what they actually call, the errors
disappear again.  I'll do that in the next spin.
