[PATCH 13/15] staging: gasket: core: protect against races during unregister

[Todd Poynor]

From: Todd Poynor <toddpoynor@xxxxxxxxxx>

Keep mutex held across the unregistration operation, until the
driver_desc field of the global table is removed, to prevent a
concurrent accessor from looking up the driver_desc while
gasket_unregister_device() is in the processing of removing it.
