mctp: make __mctp_dev_get() take a refcount hold
Previously there was a race that could allow the mctp_dev refcount
to hit zero:
rcu_read_lock();
mdev = __mctp_dev_get(dev);
// mctp_unregister() happens here, mdev->refs hits zero
mctp_dev_hold(dev);
rcu_read_unlock();
Now we make __mctp_dev_get() take the hold itself. It is safe to test
against the zero refcount because __mctp_dev_get() is called holding
rcu_read_lock and mctp_dev uses kfree_rcu().
