commit 6a0990eaa768dfb7064f06777743acc6d392084b upstream.
Clearing ch->device in ch_release() is wrong because that pointer must
remain valid until ch_remove() is called. This patch fixes the following
crash the second time a ch device is opened:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000790
