Lang Dai ed23397d1d uio: free uio id after uio file node is freed
[ Upstream commit 8fd0e2a6df ]

uio_register_device() do two things.
1) get an uio id from a global pool, e.g. the id is <A>
2) create file nodes like /sys/class/uio/uio<A>

uio_unregister_device() do two things.
1) free the uio id <A> and return it to the global pool
2) free the file node /sys/class/uio/uio<A>

There is a situation is that one worker is calling uio_unregister_device(),
and another worker is calling uio_register_device().
If the two workers are X and Y, they go as below sequence,
1) X free the uio id <AAA>
2) Y get an uio id <AAA>
3) Y create file node /sys/class/uio/uio<AAA>
4) X free the file note /sys/class/uio/uio<AAA>
Then it will failed at the 3rd step and cause the phenomenon we saw as it
is creating a duplicated file node.

Failure reports as follows:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/class/uio/uio10'

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
