uio: Prevent device destruction while fds are open
commit a93e7b33 upstream. Prevent destruction of a uio_device while user space apps hold open file descriptors to that device. Further, access to the 'info' member of the struct uio_device is protected by spinlock. This is to ensure stale pointers to data not under control of the UIO subsystem are not dereferenced.
