[ Upstream commit 8fd0e2a6df262539eaa28b0a2364cca10d1dc662 ]

uio_register_device() do two things.
1) get an uio id from a global pool, e.g. the id is
2) create file nodes like /sys/class/uio/uio

uio_unregister_device() do two things.
1) free the uio id and return it to the global pool
2) free the file node /sys/class/uio/uio

There is a situation is that one worker is calling uio_unregister_device(),
and another worker is calling uio_register_device().
If the two workers are X and Y, they go as below sequence,
1) X free the uio id <AAA>
2) Y get an uio id <AAA>
3) Y create file node /sys/class/uio/uio<AAA>
4) X free the file note /sys/class/uio/uio<AAA>
Then it will failed at the 3rd step and cause the phenomenon we saw as it
is creating a duplicated file node.

Failure reports as follows:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/class/uio/uio10'
