Wait until all users have closed their device context before allowing
device unregistration to complete.  This prevents a crash caused by
referring to stale data structures.

A better solution would be to have a way to revoke contexts rather
than waiting for userspace to close the context, but that's a much
bigger change that will have to wait.  For now let's at least avoid
the crash.
