This patch adds user count to rc_dev structure, the reason to add this
new member is to allow other code like lirc to open rc device directly.
In the existing code, rc device is only opened by input subsystem which
works ok if we have any input drivers to match. But in case like lirc
where there will be no input driver, rc device will be never opened.

Having this user count variable will be useful to allow rc device to be
opened from code other than rc-main.

This looks racey. Some locking is needed, I think rc_dev->lock should work
fine for this. Here and in the lirc code path too.

thanks Sean,
It makes sense, will fix this in v2.
