783c2fb1b8 FMC: fix locking in sample chardev driver
The fmc-chardev module was over-locking, by calling misc
register/unregister while holding its spinlock.  This reported a
"scheduling while atomic" error.

Since the misc driver already serializes operations internally, this
commit downgrades the fmc-chardev lock to just cover its own list.

The call to kzalloc() wasn't checked.
The dev_info() message dereferenced freed memory on error.

4debfe409b FMC: add a char-device mezzanine driver
This driver exports the memory area associated with the mezzanine card
as a misc device, so users can access registers.
