HID: hiddev: fix race between hiddev_disconnect and hiddev_release
When hiddev_disconnect() runs with chardev open, it will proceed with
usbhid_close(). When userspace in parallel runs the hiddev_release(),
it sees !hiddev->exists (as it has been already set so by
hiddev_disconnect()) and kfrees hiddev while hiddev_disconnect() hasn't
finished yet.
Serialize the access to hiddev->exists and hiddev->open by existancelock.
