The failed_dev_add and failed_dev_name error paths in idxd_cdev_open()
call put_device(fdev) while still holding wq->wq_lock. This triggers
idxd_file_dev_release() synchronously, which calls
mutex_lock(&wq->wq_lock) — deadlocking on the same mutex.

Additionally, the original code fell through from failed_dev_add and
failed_dev_name to the failed: label, which called kfree(ctx) a second
time after idxd_file_dev_release() had already freed it. The subsequent
idxd_xa_pasid_remove(ctx) then uses the freed pointer.

Fix both issues by releasing wq_lock before put_device(fdev) and
returning immediately, so the release callback acquires the lock without
contention and no further cleanup is attempted on the freed context.
