Subject: [PATCH v3] staging: vc04_services: Fix RCU dereference check

In service_callback path RCU dereferenced pointer struct vchiq_service
need to be accessed inside rcu read-critical section.

Also userdata/user_service part of vchiq_service is accessed around
different synchronization mechanism, getting an extra reference to a
pointer keeps sematics simpler and avoids prolonged graceperiod.

Accessing vchiq_service with rcu_read_[lock/unlock] fixes below issue.

Change in v3:
	Taking an extra reference for service pointer to keep semantics
simpler to accesses in different synchronization mechanism.

Changes in v2:
        RCU dereferenced pointer need to be accessed inside rcu
read-side critical section.
