[PATCH] media: mc: Fix potential media_device lifetime race

__media_device_get() traverses the global media_device_list under
media_device_lock and takes a reference on a matching instance with an
unconditional kref_get(). media_device_delete() drops the last
reference with kref_put() outside the lock, so the refcount can reach
zero while the instance is still on the list; if a concurrent
allocate() attempts to acquire a reference from such an instance,
kref_get() operates on a zero refcount while release() is already in
progress. The allocator may then return an instance that release()
subsequently frees, leading to a use-after-free.

Use kref_get_unless_zero() in __media_device_get() when acquiring the
reference. If the reference count has already dropped to zero, release
is in progress, so skip the entry and allocate a fresh instance
instead.
