Tom Van Braeckel 0b509d8d33 misc: pass miscdevice through file's private_data 
Make the miscdevice accessible through the file's private_data.

Previously, this was done only when an open() file operation had been
registered. If no custom open() file operation was defined,
private_data was set to NULL.

This subtle quirk was confusing, to the point where kernel code
registered *empty* file open operations to have private_data point to
the misc device structure and avoid duplicating that logic.

And it could easily lead to bugs, where the addition or removal of a
custom open() file operation surprisingly changes the initial value of
a file's private_data structure.

To resolve this, we now place the miscdevice in the file's private_data
member unconditionally when open() is called.
