4.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sean Young <sean@xxxxxxxx>
commit a607f51e5a4c421e2097077db88105402099c528 upstream.
This reverts commit 5be2b76a9ca4ea5fd3e221114d62eeb0d78267ca.
Only when the lirc device is freed, should we drop our reference to
rc_dev, else we the rc_dev is freed to early. If userspace has
a file descriptor open during unplug, it goes bang.
