udlfb: handle unplug properly
commit 68a958a9 upstream. The udlfb driver maintained an open count and cleaned up itself when the count reached zero. But the console is also counted in the reference count - so, if the user unplugged the device, the open count would not drop to zero and the driver stayed loaded with console attached. If the user re-plugged the adapter, it would create a device /dev/fb1, show green screen and the access to the console would be lost. The framebuffer subsystem has reference counting on its own - in order to fix the unplug bug, we rely the framebuffer reference counting. When the user unplugs the adapter, we call unregister_framebuffer unconditionally. unregister_framebuffer will unbind the console, wait until all users stop using the framebuffer and then call the fb_destroy method. The fb_destroy cleans up the USB driver. This patch makes the following changes: * Drop dlfb->kref and rely on implicit framebuffer reference counting instead. * dlfb_usb_disconnect calls unregister_framebuffer, the rest of driver cleanup is done in the function dlfb_ops_destroy. dlfb_ops_destroy will be called by the framebuffer subsystem when no processes have the framebuffer open or mapped. * We don't use workqueue during initialization, but initialize directly from dlfb_usb_probe. The workqueue could race with dlfb_usb_disconnect and this racing would produce various kinds of memory corruption. * We use usb_get_dev and usb_put_dev to make sure that the USB subsystem doesn't free the device under us.
