Dynamic IDs are only guaranteed to be valid when dynids.lock is held, as remove_id_store can free the node. Thus, make a copy in pci_match_device. Also, clarify that the id parameter is only valid during probe.

The probe function takes a pointer to a struct pci_device_id, so I think the requirement is that the struct pci_device_id only *needs* to be valid during .probe(), right, i.e., the PCI core probe path makes its own copy of the ID and doesn't retain the pointer after .probe() returns, right? I assume the caller determines the struct pci_device_id lifetime, and it could be forever. Could say something like: The pci_device_id parameter only needs to be valid during probe. Thanks for doing this work; it should fix a subtle but important issue.
