That is easy to handle: just take the graph_lock at the ioctl code
and at the unregister code. This will serialize unregistering.

Again, you don't need a newer flag, as there's already one flag at
media_devnode that it is used for such case.
For media_device, this can be safely freed if properly locked, even
if media_devnode is not freed.
A new flag here just makes things more complicated, non-standard and
may lead into errors.

That's exactly what kref does.

I'm not convinced why you need two krefs. Just one seems to be enough.
The more complex it is, the easier to get it wrong.
IMHO, we should first solve the race issues at the MC core, and then put the
media_device allocation in a linked list, and not the reverse, as otherwise
we'll need to do lots of cleanups.
So, IMHO, we should first:
- apply the media_lock patch I did (folded with the fixup);
- the patch that dynamically allocate media_devnode;
- fix the cdev stuff;
- add more patches to fix the remaining MC core races.
After that, apply that kref patch I wrote and convert the *_devres into
a linked list.

No. Fixing ioctl problems can only solved by doing dynamic allocation of
media_devnode.
