HID: hiddev: fix race between hiddev_disconnect and hiddev_release
When hiddev_disconnect() runs with chardev open, it will proceed with usbhid_close(). When userspace in parallel runs the hiddev_release(), it sees !hiddev->exists (as it has been already set so by hiddev_disconnect()) and kfrees hiddev while hiddev_disconnect() hasn't finished yet. Serialize the access to hiddev->exists and hiddev->open by existancelock. Reported-by: mike-@cinci.rr.com Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
