user_events: Prevent dyn_event delete racing with ioctl add/delete
Find user_events always while under the event_mutex and before leaving the lock, add a ref count to the user_event. This ensures that all paths under the event_mutex that check the ref counts will be synchronized. The ioctl add/delete paths are protected by the reg_mutex. However, dyn_event is only protected by the event_mutex. The dyn_event delete path cannot acquire reg_mutex, since that could cause a deadlock between the ioctl delete case acquiring event_mutex after acquiring the reg_mutex.
