Hans Verkuil ee6869afc9 V4L/DVB: v4l2: add core serialization lock
Drivers can optionally set a pointer to a mutex in struct video_device.
The core will use that to lock before calling open, read, write, unlocked_ioctl,
poll, mmap or release.

Updated the documentation as well and ensure that v4l2-event knows about the
lock: it will unlock it before doing a blocking wait on an event and relock it
afterwards.

Ensure that the 'video_is_registered' check is done when the lock is held:
a typical disconnect will take the lock as well before unregistering the
device nodes, so to prevent race conditions the video_is_registered check
should also be done with the lock held.
