accel: ethosu: Guard operations after unplug
This commit guards ethosu device file open and private ioctl operations
with drm_dev_enter() and drm_dev_exit(), and switches device removal from
drm_dev_unregister() to drm_dev_unplug(). It also drops drm_dev_enter()
from the BO wait ioctl so fence waits do not delay scheduler teardown.

[Severity: Medium]
In drivers/accel/ethosu/ethosu_drv.c, ethosu_open() declares priv with
__free(kfree) = NULL at the top of the function before try_module_get() and
drm_dev_enter(), and then mixes __free(kfree) with goto err_dev_exit when
kzalloc_obj() or ethosu_job_open() fails.
Because scope-based cleanup runs when the function scope exits after the
err_dev_exit label executes, drm_dev_exit(cookie) and
module_put(THIS_MODULE) will run before kfree(priv), reversing the reverse
acquisition (lifo) teardown order and mixing goto error handling with
cleanup.h helpers.
Should ethosu_open() avoid mixing __free(kfree) and goto labels so that
priv is freed before exiting the drm device section and dropping the module
reference?

[Severity: Medium]
Similarly, in drivers/accel/ethosu/ethosu_job.c, ethosu_ioctl_submit()
mixes a mid-function __free(kvfree) declaration for jobs with goto
out_dev_exit, which causes drm_dev_exit(cookie) to run before kvfree(jobs).
In drivers/accel/ethosu/ethosu_perfmon.c, ethosu_ioctl_perfmon_set_global()
also mixes scoped_guard(mutex, ðosu->perfmon_state.lock) with goto
out_dev_exit labels.
Per include/linux/cleanup.h, goto-based cleanup and scope-based cleanup
helpers should not be mixed within the same function. Could these functions
either use scope-based cleanup consistently or use explicit cleanup along
the goto paths?
