tcmu calls uio_unregister_device from tcmu_destroy_device.
After that uio will never call tcmu_release for this device.
If userspace still had the uio device open and / or mmap'ed
during uio_unregister_device, tcmu_release will not be called and
udev->kref will never go down to 0.

So tcmu in this situation will not free:
 - cmds or tmrs still in the queue or the ring
 - all pages allocated for mailbox and cmd_ring (vmalloc)
 - all pages allocated for data space
 - the udev itself

The vmalloc'ed area is 8 MB, amount of pages allocated for data
space depends on previous usage of the tcmu device. Theoretically
that can be up to 1GB.

This patch moves the call of uio_unregister_device to the
beginning of tcmu_dev_kref_release, which is called when
udev->kref drops down to zero. So we know, that uio device is
closed and unmap'ed.

In case tcmu_realease drops the last kref, we would end up doing
the uio_unregister_device from a function called by uio_release,
which causes the process to block forever.
So we now do the kref_put from new worker function
tcmu_release_work_fn which is scheduled by tcmu_release.

To make userspace still aware of the device being deleted,
tcmu_destroy_device instead of uio_unregister_device now does:
 - sets a bit in udev, so that tcmu_open and tcmu_mmap can check
   and fail with -EIO
 - resets udev->uio_info->irq to 0, so uio will fail read() and
   write() with -EIO
 - wakes up userspace possibly waiting in read(), so the read
   fails with -EIO

Avoid possible races in tcmu_open by replacing kref_get with
kref_get_unless_zero.
