commit 17b88a2050e9d1f89a53562f2adb709a8959e763 upstream.

When remote host goes down glink char device channel is freed and
associated rpdev is destroyed through rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_destroy(),
At the same time user space apps can still try to open/poll rpmsg
char device which will result in calling rpmsg_create_ept()/rpmsg_poll().
These functions will try to reference rpdev which has already been freed
through rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_destroy().

File operation functions and device removal function must be protected
with lock. This patch adds existing ept lock in remove function as well.
