When driver unbinds while media_ioctl is in progress, cdev_put() fails with
when app exits after driver unbinds.

Add a kobject to the media_devnode structure and set this kobject as the
cdev parent kobject. This allows cdev_add() to hold a reference to it and
release the reference in cdev_del() ensuring that the media_devnode is not
deallocated as long as the application has the cdev open.

This problem is found on uvcvideo, em28xx, and au0828 drivers and fix has
been tested on all three.

cdev_put() error as follows:

As said during the previous review, the struct device should be used for
reference counting. Otherwise a use-after-free can still occur since you now
have two reference counted data structures with independent counters in the
same structure. For one of them the counter goes to zero before the other
and then you have the use-after-free.

struct device is embedded in the media_devnode and media_devnode
will not be released until cdev releases the kobject since it is
set as cdeev kobj.parent. I am not seeing any use-fater-free with
this scheme. That said, I understand your concern about two ref
counted objects in the same structure. Using struct device for ref
counting will require a few changes to media_devnode_register()
to do device_initialize() before cdev_add(). I am testing that now
and will send the updated patch soon.

thanks,

There might still be a reference to the struct device at that point, so if
you free the media_devnode there is a use-after-free.
