 cmtp_attach_device fails

Hi Thadeu,

> When cmtp_attach_device fails, cmtp_add_connection returns the error value
> which leads to the caller to doing fput through sockfd_put. But
> cmtp_session kthread, which is stopped in this path will also call fput,
> leading to a potential refcount underflow or a use-after-free.
> 
> Add a refcount before we signal the kthread to stop. The kthread will try
> to grab the cmtp_session_sem mutex before doing the fput, which is held
> when get_file is called, so there should be no races there.
