While fixing an oops in the st driver in a dirty release path, I encountered an oops in cdev_put for cdevs allocated using cdev_alloc. If cdev_del is called when the cdev kobject still has an open user, when the last cdev_put is called, the cdev_put will call kobject_put, which will end up ultimately releasing the cdev in cdev_dynamic_release. Patch fixes the oops by preventing cdev_put from accessing freed memory.
