[ Upstream commit b9ff1c2a26fa31216be18e9b14c419ff8fe39e72 ]
Reword and expand the invariant documentation for `MiscDeviceRegistration` to clarify what it means for the inner device to be "registered". It expands to explain: - `inner` points to a `miscdevice` registered via `misc_register`. - This registration stays valid for the entire lifetime of the object. - Deregistration is guaranteed on `Drop`, via `misc_deregister`.
