kfree(idev)
-------------------------------------------------------
In the core-1 uio_unregister_device(), the device_unregister will kfree
idev when the idev->dev kobject ref is 1. But after core-1
device_unregister, put_device and before doing kfree, the core-2 may
get_device. Then:
1. After core-1 kfree idev, the core-2 will do use-after-free for idev.
2. When core-2 do uio_release and put_device, the idev will be double
freed.
To address this issue, we can get idev atomic & inc idev reference with
minor_lock.
