Patch Review

**Cc: stable =E2=80=94 appropriate** since this fixes a real soundness bug =
in the existing code.

The approach of using `AtomicBool` + `MaybeUninit` + `UnsafeCell` is reason=
able for a standalone bugfix, though it gets partially superseded by later =
patches.

**Memory ordering concern:** The `data_is_init` flag uses `Ordering::Relaxe=
d` in both the store (line ~307) and the load in `release()` (line ~319). S=
ince `release()` is only called when the refcount drops to zero, there's an=
 implicit synchronization barrier from the refcount operations, so this is =
likely fine in practice. However, the safety comment on the store should me=
ntion this reasoning explicitly. The comment says:

```rust
// SAFETY: We just initialized raw_drm above using __drm_dev_alloc(), ensur=
ing it is safe to
// dereference
```

This justifies the dereference but doesn't justify `Relaxed` ordering for t=
he data visibility.

**Glob import:** `use core::sync::atomic::*;` =E2=80=94 importing everythin=
g from `atomic` is a bit broad. Consider importing just `AtomicBool` and `O=
rdering` explicitly, which is more in line with kernel Rust style.

**Deref safety comment could be stronger:**
```rust
// SAFETY: `data` is only written to once in `Device::new()`, so this read =
will never race.
unsafe { (&*self.data.get()).assume_init_ref() }
```
This doesn't address the fact that `Deref` can be called on a `Device` wher=
e `data` hasn't been initialized yet (before `data_is_init` is set to true)=
. In the current code, `Deref` is available on all `Device<T>` references, =
but the data might not be initialized if someone obtains a reference betwee=
n allocation and initialization. This is addressed more properly in patches=
 2-3.
