Unregistering a user event now defers the drop of the enabler's event
reference (and the freeing of the enabler) past an RCU grace period. As a
result DIAG_IOCSDEL can transiently fail with -EBUSY while that last
reference is still being dropped, where it previously succeeded
immediately.
Two tests assumed the delete takes effect the instant the unregister
returns:
- abi_test "flags" deletes the event right after disabling it.
- perf_test's fixture teardown clear() deletes __test_event before the
next test registers the same name; a stale event makes the following
registration fail with -EADDRINUSE.
Retry the delete until it succeeds (or the event is already gone) with a
bounded wait, matching the existing wait_for_delete() idiom in the same
suite, so the tests are robust to the deferred teardown.
