uio: Fix an Oops on load
commit 43279819 upstream. I was trying to solve a double free but I introduced a more serious NULL dereference bug. The problem is that if there is an IRQ which triggers immediately, then we need "info->uio_dev" but it's not set yet. This patch puts the original initialization back to how it was and just sets info->uio_dev to NULL on the error path so it should solve both the Oops and the double free.
