Add refcount to keep track of media device registrations to avoid release
of media device when one of the drivers does unregister when media device
belongs to more than one driver. Also add a new interfaces to unregister
a media device allocated using Media Device Allocator and a hold register
refcount. Change media_open() to get media device reference and put the
reference in media_release().

Where you're freeing the media_dev (or its container struct)?

You need to be sure that it will be freed only here.

You can't simply embed a kref at media_device. The problem is that
several conditions should be met for this approach to work:

1) The structs that have struct media_device should not have a kref
their own (I guess that's the current case, but it should be documented
somewhere);

2) the struct that embeds it can only be destroyed when kref refcount
reaches zero. That actually means that the core should either allocate
the struct itself or that a release callback for those structs should
do the kfree(). It means that all drivers should be changed for it to
happen.

Also, if you're adding a kref here, you likely should not have a kref
at struct media_device_instance(), as there's no need for two kref
destroy logic.

This step doesn't free the media device. It simply move it from
the main media device instance list to the to be deleted list.

This is necessary to handle race condition between ioctls and media
device unregister. Consider the case where the driver does unregister
while application has the device open and ioctl is in progress. In this
case, media device should not be released until the application exits
with an error detecting media device has been unregistered. All ioctls
check for this condition.

A second issue is if the media device isn't free'd, a subsequent driver
bind finds the media device that is still in the list. So this flag is
used to move the media device instance to a second to be deleted list.
We do have to make sure the media device gets deleted from this to be
deleted list in the cases when the applications dies without releasing
the reference to the media device which triggers the put.

When more than one driver is in play (e.g: au0828 and snd_usb_audio),
it is necessary to keep track of how many drivers are associated with
the media device. So we need a second kref in to do that.

I could add another kref to the media device instance to keep track
of registrations to trigger unregister.

This can never happen, provided that the data is properly locked.

And if it is not locked, there will be other race issues.

Why two krefs? It is one struct that needs to be tracked, so just one
kref should be enough.

No! don't add lots of kref. Just one is enough. Complex solutions won't make
it any better.
