Thanks Greg

Set cdev owner or use module_get/put can block rmmod once fops_open.
-       uacce->cdev->owner = THIS_MODULE;
+       uacce->cdev->owner = uacce->parent->driver->owner;

However, still not find good method to block removing parent pci device.

mutex_lock(&dev->device_lock) can be used, which used in 
device_release_driver_internal.
Or use internal mutex.
