We used to keep the port's char device structs and the /sys entries
around till the last reference to the port was dropped. This is
actually unnecessary, and resulted in buggy behaviour:
1. Open port in guest
2. Hot-unplug port
3. Hot-plug a port with the same 'name' property as the unplugged one
This resulted in hot-plug being unsuccessful, as a port with the same
name already exists (even though it was unplugged).
This behaviour resulted in a warning message like this one:
Instead of relying on guest applications to release all references to
the ports, we should go ahead and unregister the port from all the core
layers. Any open/read calls on the port will then just return errors,
and an unplug/plug operation on the host will succeed as expected.
This also caused buggy behaviour in case of the device removal (not just
a port): when the device was removed (which means all ports on that
device are removed automatically as well), the ports with active
users would clean up only when the last references were dropped -- and
it would be too late then to be referencing char device pointers,
resulting in oopses:
