Subject: [PATCH v4] char: pcmcia: synclink_cs: Fix use-after-free in
 mgslpc_ops

A race condition may occur if the user physically removes
the pcmcia device while calling ioctl() for this tty device node.

This is a race condition between the mgslpc_ioctl() function and
the mgslpc_detach() function, which may eventually result in UAF.

So, add a refcount check to mgslpc_detach() to free the structure
after the tty device node is close()d.
