[PATCH v7] uio: Fix uio driver to refcount device

[Brian Russell]

Protect uio driver from its owner being unplugged while there are open fds.
Embed struct device in struct uio_device, use refcounting on device, free uio_device on release.
info struct passed in uio_register_device can be freed on unregister, so null out the field in
uio_unregister_device and check accesses.

v7: use dev_set_name and fix error path in uio_register_device

v6: ... and put them in the right place

v5: add patch version changes

v4: info struct passed in uio_register_device can be freed on unregister, so null
    out the field in uio_unregister_device and check accesses.

v3: Embed struct device in struct uio_device, use refcounting on device, free
    uio_device on release.

v2: Add blank line to header
