Johan Hovold c602254ba4 USB: iowarrior: fix use-after-free on disconnect race
mutex_unlock() may access the mutex structure after releasing the lock
and therefore cannot be used to manage lifetime of objects directly
(unlike spinlocks and refcounts). [1][2]

Use a kref to release the driver data to avoid use-after-free in
mutex_unlock() when release() races with disconnect().

[1] a51749ab34 ("locking/mutex: Document that mutex_unlock() is non-atomic")
[2] 2b9d9e0a9b ("locking/mutex: Clarify that mutex_unlock(), and most
                   other sleeping locks, can still use the lock object
                   after it's unlocked")

Fixes: 946b960d13 ("USB: add driver for iowarrior devices.")
