[PATCH 2/3] ch: synchronize ch_probe() and ch_open()

[Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de>]

The 'ch' device node is created before the configuration is
being read in, which leads to a race window when ch_open() is called
before that.
To avoid any races we should be taking the device mutex during
ch_readconfig() and ch_init_elem(), and also during ch_open().
That ensures ch_probe is finished before ch_open() completes.
