Use uninterruptible mutex_lock in the release() file op to make
sure all resources are properly freed when a process is being
terminated. Returning -ERESTARTSYS has no effect for a terminating
process and this may cause driver resources not to be released.

This patch is required for stable kernels v3.5+.
