As soon as our VPN server is back up again.

The revert may not be necessay; a little fix should get rid of the
locking violation.  The key is to avoid calling the registration or
deregistration routines while holding the rio500_mutex, and to
recognize that the probe and disconnect routines are both protected by
the device mutex.

How does this patch look?

This crash does not have a reproducer. I cannot test it.
