[PATCH] um: Add winch to winch_handlers before registering winch IRQ

From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@huawei.com>

Registering a winch IRQ is racy, an interrupt may occur before the winch is
added to the winch_handlers list.

If that happens, register_winch_irq() adds to that list a winch that is
scheduled to be (or has already been) freed, causing a panic later in
winch_cleanup().

Avoid the race by adding the winch to the winch_handlers list before
registering the IRQ, and rolling back if um_request_irq() fails.
