NFC: reorganize the functions in nci_request
There is a possible data race as shown below: thread-A in nci_request() | thread-B in nci_close_device() | mutex_lock(&ndev->req_lock); test_bit(NCI_UP, &ndev->flags); | ... | test_and_clear_bit(NCI_UP, &ndev->flags) mutex_lock(&ndev->req_lock); | | This race will allow __nci_request() to be awaked while the device is getting removed. Similar to commit e2cb6b891ad2 ("bluetooth: eliminate the potential race condition when removing the HCI controller"). this patch alters the function sequence in nci_request() to prevent the data races between the nci_close_device().
