[PATCH] (1/11) Irda dongle module owner support

[Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>]

IRDA dongle interface needed to be converted to have an owner field
to avoid races on module unload.

Eliminated the use of hashbin locking because the dongle control
code needed to do it's own locking to avoid races.   This also closed
the race between find and insert. 

The find/insert hashbin race may be a general problem with all the IRDA
hashbin stuff. IMHO the hashbin stuff should be replaced, it is full
of dead incomplete code and done better by the list macros.
