I fixed something related in the ocxl driver (which had enough changes
with the introduction of the "info" device to make a similar comment
become wrong). See commit a58d37bce0d21. The issue is handling a
simultaneous open() and removal of the device through /sysfs as best we can.
We are on a file open path and it's not like we're going to have a
thousand clients, so performance is not that critical. We can take the
mutex before searching in the IDR and release it after we increment the
reference count on the device.
But that's not enough: we could still find the device in the IDR while
it is being removed in free_ocxlpmem(). I believe the only safe way to
address it is by removing the user-facing APIs (the char device) before
calling device_unregister(). So that it's not possible to find the
device in file_open() if it's in the middle of being removed.

As already mentioned in a previous patch, we branch to the err label so
rc needs to be set to a valid error.
