[PATCH] char: pcmcia: scr24x_cs: Fix use-after-free in scr24x_fops

[Hyunwoo Kim <imv4bel@gmail.com>]

A race condition may occur if the user physically removes the
pcmcia device while calling open() for this char device node.

This is a race condition between the scr24x_open() function and
the scr24x_remove() function, which may eventually result in UAF.

So, add a mutex to the scr24x_open() and scr24x_remove() functions
to avoid race contidion of krefs.
