push BKL into chrdev opens
Description:

Adds the BKL to each character device's open() function. The BKL will remain in chrdev_open() until the module unload races are fixed, but this makes it unnecessary there for any other reason.

I'm reasonably confident that I found all of the character devices' open()s if the device used register_chrdev or devfs_register_chrdev.
