bsg: fix race of bsg_open and bsg_unregister
The existing implementation allows races between bsg_unregister and bsg_open paths. bsg_unregister and request_queue cleanup and deletion may start and complete right after bsg_get_device (in bsg_open path) retrieves bsg_class_device and releases the mutex. Then bsg_open path touches freed memory of bsg_class_device and request_queue. One possible fix is to hold the mutex all the way through bsg_get_device instead of releasing it after bsg_class_device retrieval.
