Check fops_get() return value
Several subsystem open handlers dereference the fops_get() return value without checking it for nullness. This opens a race condition between the open handler and module unloading. A module can be marked as being unloaded (MODULE_STATE_GOING) before its exit function is called and gets the chance to unregister the driver. During that window open handlers can still be called, and fops_get() will fail in try_module_get() and return a NULL pointer. This change checks the fops_get() return value and returns -ENODEV if NULL.
