tcmu: fix crash during device removal
We currently do tcmu_free_device ->tcmu_netlink_event(TCMU_CMD_REMOVED_DEVICE) -> uio_unregister_device -> kfree(tcmu_dev). The problem is that the kernel does not wait for userspace to do the close() on the uio device before freeing the tcmu_dev. We can then hit a race where the kernel frees the tcmu_dev before userspace does close() and so when close() -> release -> tcmu_release is done, we try to access a freed tcmu_dev. This patch made over the target-pending master branch moves the freeing of the tcmu_dev to when the last reference has been dropped. This also fixes a leak where if tcmu_configure_device was not called on a device we did not free udev->name which was allocated at tcmu_alloc_device time.
