The pwc driver used to:
1. kmalloc a buffer
2. memcpy data to send over usb there
3. do the usb_control_msg call (which does not work with data on the stack)
4. free the buffer
For every usb command send. This patch changes the code to instead malloc
a buffer for this purpose once and use it everywhere.

Doing a bunch of initialization every time /dev/video is opened, and thus
for example when the udev rules probe for capabilities makes no sense,
do it at driver load, resp. stream start instead.
This is a preparation patch for allowing multiple opens of the /dev/video
node.
