The device_is_registered() in nfc core is used to check whether
nfc device is registered in netlink related functions such as
nfc_fw_download(), nfc_dev_up() and so on. Although device_is_registered()
is protected by device_lock, there is still a race condition between
device_del() and device_is_registered(). The root cause is that
kobject_del() in device_del() is not protected by device_lock.

   (cleanup task)         |     (netlink task)
                          |
nfc_unregister_device     | nfc_fw_download
 device_del               |  device_lock
  ...                     |   if (!device_is_registered)//(1)
  kobject_del//(2)        |   ...
 ...                      |  device_unlock

The device_is_registered() returns the value of state_in_sysfs and
the state_in_sysfs is set to zero in kobject_del(). If we pass check in
position (1), then set zero in position (2). As a result, the check
in position (1) is useless.

This patch uses bool variable instead of device_is_registered() to judge
whether the nfc device is registered, which is well synchronized.

<title>NFC: reorder the logic in nfc_{un,}register_device</title>

<id>3e3b5dfcd16a3e254aab61bd1e8c417dd4503102</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a potential UAF between the unregistration routine and the NFC
netlink operations.

The race that cause that UAF can be shown as below:

 (FREE)                      |  (USE)
nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev   |  nfc_genl_dev_up
  nci_close_device           |
  nci_unregister_device      |    nfc_get_device
    nfc_unregister_device    |    nfc_dev_up
      rfkill_destory         |
      device_del             |      rfkill_blocked
  ...                        |    ...

The root cause for this race is concluded below:
1. The rfkill_blocked (USE) in nfc_dev_up is supposed to be placed after
the device_is_registered check.
2. Since the netlink operations are possible just after the device_add
in nfc_register_device, the nfc_dev_up() can happen anywhere during the
rfkill creation process, which leads to data race.

This patch reorder these actions to permit
1. Once device_del is finished, the nfc_dev_up cannot dereference the
rfkill object.
2. The rfkill_register need to be placed after the device_add of nfc_dev
because the parent device need to be created first. So this patch keeps
the order but inject device_lock to prevent the data race.

local variables and in total makes the code a little bit safer.

A recent change fixing NFC device allocation itself introduced an
error-handling bug by returning an error pointer in case device-id
allocation failed. This is clearly broken as the callers still expected
NULL to be returned on errors as detected by Dan's static checker.

Fix this up by returning NULL in the event that we've run out of memory
when allocating a new device id.

Note that the offending commit is marked for stable (3.8) so this fix
needs to be backported along with it.
