[PATCH 4/4] staging: uio: Implement hotunplug support, using libunload

[Mandeep Sandhu]

With this change it is possible to remove a module that implements
a uio device, or to remove the underlying hardware device of a uio
device withot crashing the kernel, or causing user space more problems
than just an I/O error.

The implicit module parameter that was passed by uio_register_device
to __uio_register_device has been removed as it is now safe to call
uio_unregister_device while uio file handles are open.

In uio all file methods (except release) now must perform their work
inside of the unload_lock. This guarantees that uio_unregister_device
won't return until all currently running uio methods complete, and
it allows uio to return -EIO after the underlying device has been
unregistered.

The fops->release method must perform the bulk of it's work under the
unload_release_lock. With release more needs to be done than to
more than wait for the method to finish executing, the release also
needs to handle the info->releae being called early on files that
are not closed when unregister is running. Taking the unload_release
lock fails if and only if the info->release method has already been
called at the time fops->release runs.

Instead of holding a module reference, the uio files have been modified
to instead hold an extra reference to struct uio_device, ensuring
that the uio file_operations functions will not access freed memory
even after the uio device has been unregistered.

The bulk of the changes are simply modifying the code flow of the
uio functions to run under the appropriate unload lock.

uio_open is modestly special in that it needs to run under the
uio_unload lock (to keep the uio device from unloading), but not have
it's file structure on the uio unload list until it is certain
that the open will succeed (ensuring that release will not be called
on a file that we failed to open). uio_open also carefully grabs
the reference to the uio_device under the idr_mutex to guarnatee
the the uio_device reference held by the idr data structure
is valid while we are incrementing the uio_device reference count.

uio_device_unregister does a fair bit more than what it used to. All
of the extra work is essentially handling the early shutdown of file
handles when a device is unregistered while files are still open.
