[PATCH v2] bus/pci: don't open uio device in secondary process

[Konrad Sztyber]

The uio_pci_generic driver clears the bus master bit when the device
file is closed. So, when the secondary process terminates after probing
a device, that device becomes unusable in the primary process.

To avoid that, the device file is now opened only in the primary
process. The commit that introduced this regression, 847d78fb9530
("bus/pci: fix FD in secondary process"), only mentioned enabling access
to config space from secondary process, which still works, as it doesn't
rely on the device file.
