HID: hidraw: fix data race on device refcount

Browse source

commit 944ee77dc6 upstream.

The hidraw_open() function increments the hidraw device reference
counter. The counter has no dedicated synchronization mechanism,
resulting in a potential data race when concurrently opening a device.

The race is a regression introduced by commit 8590222e4b ("HID:
hidraw: Replace hidraw device table mutex with a rwsem"). While
minors_rwsem is intended to protect the hidraw_table itself, by instead
acquiring the lock for writing, the reference counter is also protected.
This is symmetrical to hidraw_release().
