Martin Kepplinger 32eca22180 misc: always assign miscdevice to file->private_data in open()
As of now, a miscdevice driver has to provide an implementation of
the open() file operation if it wants to have misc_open() assign a
pointer to struct miscdevice to file->private_data for other file
operations to use (given the user calls open()).

This leads to situations where a miscdevice driver that doesn't need
internal operations during open() has to implement open() that only
returns immediately, in order to use the data in private_data in other
fops.

This provides consistent behaviour for miscdevice developers and will
always provide the pointer in private_data. A driver's open() fop would,
of course, just overwrite it, when using private_data itself.
