Introduce roccat_device_available() to check whether device
is actually available (i.e. not disconnected), thus removing
explicit 'exist' flag from 'struct roccat_device'.

In roccat_release(), access the device using file-specific
reader data rather than global array, thus preventing the
case when original device was disconnected and a new device
has connected using the same slot indexed by minor number.

Use kref to manage 'struct roccat_device' instances and fix both memory
leaks and UaF-triggering races between roccat_open()/roccat_release()
and roccat_connect()/roccat_disconnect() pairs. To avoid the scenario
when opened device is disconnected and its slot indexed by minor number
is reused by another device, release the slot in roccat_free_device()
rather than in roccat_disconnect(). This way, there is a time frame when
disconnected device may still occupy the slot; to reject such a device,
add extra roccat_device_available() checks to roccat_open() and
roccat_ioctl(). Add extra WARN_ON() device check to roccat_disconnect()
and a few debugging quirks to roccat_free_device() as well.

HID: roccat: use device_is_registered() to check whether device is available
This patch introduces roccat_device_available() to check if a device is
available (using device_is_registered()), removing the explicit 'exist'
flag from struct roccat_device.

[Severity: High]
Are we dereferencing the cached dev pointer here without holding a reference
count?
If a thread reads the dev pointer here, gets preempted while device_destroy()
frees it, and then evaluates device_is_registered(dev), could this lead to a
Use-After-Free?
This is not fixed by subsequent patches in the series (e.g., commit
"HID: roccat: use kref to manage device instances"), which only refcount
the struct roccat_device, not the struct device.

[Severity: High]
Is it possible for a lockless caller like roccat_poll() to trigger the
Use-After-Free vulnerability mentioned above by reading dev concurrently?

[Severity: High]
Can this sequence unregister and free the struct device memory concurrently
before the pointer is cleared, causing the Use-After-Free?
Could device_destroy() drop the final reference and free the struct device
memory immediately before WRITE_ONCE() clears the pointer?
