From: Mohammad Shahid <mdshahid03@gmail.com>
The LEGO USB Tower driver uses nonseekable_open() in tower_open()
However, its read and write have stream semantics.
Use stream_open instead to mark the file as a stream and disable
unnecessary file position handling.
The issue is reported by stream_open.cocci script as potential
deadlock between read and write operation.
