vduse_dev_open() looks up struct vduse_dev through the IDR and then
acquires dev->lock only after vduse_lock has been dropped.

This leaves a window where a concurrent VDUSE_DESTROY_DEV can remove the
same object from the IDR and free it before the open path locks the
device, leading to a use-after-free.

Close this race by keeping vduse_lock held until dev->lock has been
acquired in the open path, matching the lock ordering already used by
the destroy path.

v2 -> v3:
- keep vduse_lock held until after dropping dev->lock
in vduse_dev_open()
- add changelog requested in review

v1 -> v2:
- add Fixes tag
- remove helper and inline the locking in
vduse_dev_open()
