[PATCH] \sbus: char: uctrl: Fix use-after-free in uctrl_open

[Yoochan Lee]

A race condition may occur if the user physically removes the
uctrl device while calling open().

This is a race condition between uctrl_open() function and
the uctrl_remove() function, which may lead to Use-After-Free.

Therefore, add a kref when open() uctrl driver and decrement
the kref when close() and uctrl_remove() so that the race
condition is not occured.

---------------CPU 0--------------------CPU 1-----------------
                              | p = dev_get_drvdata(&op->dev);
                              | ...
                              | kfree(p); -- (1)
uctrl_get_event_status(global
_driver); — (2)
