HID: hidraw: protect hidraw_disconnect() better
The function hidraw_disconnect() only acquires the hidraw minors_lock
when clearing the entry in hidraw_table. However the device_destroy()
call can cause a userland read/write to return with an error. It may
cause the program to release the file descripter before the disconnect
is finished. hidraw_disconnect() has already set hidraw->exist to 0,
which makes hidraw_release() kfree the hidraw structure, which
hidraw_disconnect() continues to access and even tries to kfree again.
Similarly if a hidraw_release() occurs after setting hidraw->exist to 0,
the same thing can happen.
This is fixed by expanding the mutex critical section to cover the whole
function from setting hidraw->exist to 0 to freeing the hidraw
structure, preventing a hidraw_release() from interfering.
