Visual inspection of the usbvision driver shows that it suffers from
three races between its open, close, and disconnect handlers. In
particular, the driver is careful to update its usbvision->user and
usbvision->remove_pending flags while holding the private mutex, but:
usbvision_v4l2_close() and usbvision_radio_close() don't hold
the mutex while they check the value of
usbvision->remove_pending;
usbvision_disconnect() doesn't hold the mutex while checking
the value of usbvision->user; and
also, usbvision_v4l2_open() and usbvision_radio_open() don't
check whether the device has been unplugged before allowing
the user to open the device files.
Each of these can potentially lead to usbvision_release() being called
twice and use-after-free errors.
This patch fixes the races by reading the flags while the mutex is
still held and checking for pending removes before allowing an open to
succeed.
