[lvc-project] [PATCH v5 3/3] HID: roccat: use kref to manage device instances

Use kref to manage 'struct roccat_device' instances and fix both memory
leaks and UaF-triggering races between roccat_open()/roccat_release()
and roccat_connect()/roccat_disconnect() pairs. To avoid the scenario
when opened device is disconnected and its slot indexed by minor number
is reused by another device, release the slot in roccat_free_device()
rather than in roccat_disconnect(). This way, there is a time frame when
disconnected device may still occupy the slot; to reject such a device,
add extra roccat_device_available() checks to roccat_open() and
roccat_ioctl(). Add extra WARN_ON() device check to roccat_disconnect()
and a few debugging quirks to roccat_free_device() as well.

v5: adjusted to match 7.3-rc5
v4: unchanged
v3: release device slot in roccat_free_device(), add required checks
    to roccat_open() and roccat_ioctl(), few more debugging quirks
v2: unconditionally get/put device reference during
    first open and last close, respectively (Sashiko)
