[PATCH] carl9170: Fix misuse of device driver API

[Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@xxxxxxxxx>]

This patch follows Alan Stern's recent patch:
"p54: Fix race between disconnect and firmware loading"

that overhauled carl9170 buggy firmware loading and driver
unbinding procedures.

Since the carl9170 code was adapted from p54 it uses the
same functions and is likely to have the same problem, but
it's just that the syzbot hasn't reproduce them (yet).

a summary from the changes (copied from the p54 patch):
 * Call usb_driver_release_interface() rather than
   device_release_driver().

 * Lock udev (the interface's parent) before unbinding the
   driver instead of locking udev->parent.

 * During the firmware loading process, take a reference
   to the USB interface instead of the USB device.

 * Don't take an unnecessary reference to the device during
   probe (and then don't drop it during disconnect).

and

 * Make sure to prevent use-after-free bugs by explicitly
   setting the driver context to NULL after signaling the
   completion.
