No reason not to put the assignment inside the lock. Though using the
lock at all is overkill as the pointer hasn't left the local stack
frame at this point.

Wow it is really subtle that cdev_device_add has this tiny hole where
it can fail but have already allowed open() :<

Other than the lock it looks OK
