Before i add more detail in the commit log of next version, i would 
explain to you here at first here.

When the device be hot-unplugged,  the hot-unplug handler will be 
invoked and the device will be detached, at this time if the interrupt 
still not disable soon and the second

remove event come again(kernel will sent pci remove event after sent uio 
remove event) , the bus->find_device will return null and return, at 
this place lack of an unlock.

Without this unlock, it will block the next remove or add event 
detection. So it definitely need an unlock here to avoid dead lock.
