[S390] vmur: fix reference counting for vmur device structure
When a vmur device is removed due to a detach of the device, currently the
ur device structure is freed. Unfortunately it can happen, that there is
still a user of the device structure, when the character device is open
during the detach process. To fix this, reference counting for the vmur
structure is introduced.
In addition to that, the online, offline, probe and remove functions are
serialized now using a global mutex.
