Holding locks is mandatory when calling __ib_device_get_by_index, otherwise there are races during the list iteration with device removal. Since the locks are static to device.c, __ib_device_get_by_index can never be called correctly by any user out side the file. Make the function static and provide a safe function that gets the correct locks and returns a kref'd pointer. Fix all callers.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
