udlfb: handle unplug properly



commit 68a958a915ca912b8ce71b9eea7445996f6e681e upstream.

The udlfb driver maintained an open count and cleaned up itself when the
count reached zero. But the console is also counted in the reference count
- so, if the user unplugged the device, the open count would not drop to
zero and the driver stayed loaded with console attached. If the user
re-plugged the adapter, it would create a device /dev/fb1, show green
screen and the access to the console would be lost.

The framebuffer subsystem has reference counting on its own - in order to
fix the unplug bug, we rely the framebuffer reference counting. When the
user unplugs the adapter, we call unregister_framebuffer unconditionally.
unregister_framebuffer will unbind the console, wait until all users stop
using the framebuffer and then call the fb_destroy method. The fb_destroy
cleans up the USB driver.

This patch makes the following changes:
* Drop dlfb->kref and rely on implicit framebuffer reference counting
  instead.
* dlfb_usb_disconnect calls unregister_framebuffer, the rest of driver
  cleanup is done in the function dlfb_ops_destroy. dlfb_ops_destroy will
  be called by the framebuffer subsystem when no processes have the
  framebuffer open or mapped.
* We don't use workqueue during initialization, but initialize directly
  from dlfb_usb_probe. The workqueue could race with dlfb_usb_disconnect
  and this racing would produce various kinds of memory corruption.
* We use usb_get_dev and usb_put_dev to make sure that the USB subsystem
  doesn't free the device under us.
