Input: serio_raw - fix memory leak when closing char device
Apparently we never freed memory allocated when users open our char devices nor removed old users from the list of connected clients. Also unregister misc device immediately upon disconnecting the port instead of waiting until last user drops off (refcounting in misc device code will make sure needed pieces stay around while they are needed) and make sure we are not holing holding serio_raw_mutex when registering/unregistering misc device. This should fix potential deadlock between serio_raw and misc device code uncovered by lockdep and reported by Thomas Tuttle.
