NFC: reorder the logic in nfc_{un,}register_device
There is a potential UAF between the unregistration routine and the NFC netlink operations. The race that cause that UAF can be shown as below: (FREE) | (USE) nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev | nfc_genl_dev_up nci_close_device | nci_unregister_device | nfc_get_device nfc_unregister_device | nfc_dev_up rfkill_destory | device_del | rfkill_blocked ... | ... The root cause for this race is concluded below: 1. The rfkill_blocked (USE) in nfc_dev_up is supposed to be placed after the device_is_registered check. 2. Since the netlink operations are possible just after the device_add in nfc_register_device, the nfc_dev_up() can happen anywhere during the rfkill creation process, which leads to data race. This patch reorder these actions to permit 1. Once device_del is finished, the nfc_dev_up cannot dereference the rfkill object. 2. The rfkill_register need to be placed after the device_add of nfc_dev because the parent device need to be created first. So this patch keeps the order but inject device_lock to prevent the data race.
