[media] v4l2-dev: make it possible to skip locking for selected ioctls

Browse source 
Using the V4L2 core lock is a very robust method that is usually very good
at doing the right thing. But some drivers, particularly USB drivers, may
want to prevent the core from taking the lock for specific ioctls, particularly
buffer queuing ioctls.

The reason is that certain commands like S_CTRL can take a long time to process
over USB and all the time the core has the lock, preventing VIDIOC_DQBUF from
proceeding, even though a frame may be ready in the queue.

This introduces unwanted latency.

Since the buffer queuing commands often have their own internal lock it is
often not necessary to take the core lock. Drivers can now say that they don't
want the core to take the lock for specific ioctls.

As it is a specific opt-out it makes it clear to the reviewer that those
ioctls will need more care when reviewing.

You should also set these fields:
- v4l2_dev: set to the v4l2_device parent device.
- name: set to something descriptive and unique.
- fops: set to the v4l2_file_operations struct.
- ioctl_ops: if you use the v4l2_ioctl_ops to simplify ioctl maintenance
(highly recommended to use this and it might become compulsory in the
future!), then set this to your v4l2_ioctl_ops struct.

Otherwise you give it a pointer to a struct mutex_lock and before any
of the v4l2_file_operations is called this lock will be taken by the

- prio: keeps track of the priorities. Used to implement VIDIOC_G/S_PRIORITY.
If left to NULL, then it will use the struct v4l2_prio_state in v4l2_device.
If you want to have a separate priority state per (group of) device node(s),
then you can point it to your own struct v4l2_prio_state.
- parent: you only set this if v4l2_device was registered with NULL as
the parent device struct. This only happens in cases where one hardware
device has multiple PCI devices that all share the same v4l2_device core.

will be either a top-level mutex or a mutex per device node. By default this
lock will be used for each file operation and ioctl, but you can disable
locking for selected ioctls by calling:
void v4l2_dont_use_lock(struct video_device *vdev, unsigned int cmd);
E.g.: v4l2_dont_use_lock(vdev, VIDIOC_DQBUF);
You have to call this before you register the video_device.
Particularly with USB drivers where certain commands such as setting controls
can take a long time you may want to do your own locking for the buffer queuing
ioctls.
If you want still finer-grained locking then you have to set mutex_lock to NULL
and do you own locking completely.
It is up to the driver developer to decide which method to use. However, if
your driver has high-latency operations (for example, changing the exposure
