In our testing, this function ends up being called twice, if before
suspend the camera is streaming and if the camera disconnects between
suspend and resume. This is because uvc_video_suspend() calls this
function (with free_buffers = 0), but uvc_video_resume() wouldn't call
uvc_init_video() due to an earlier failure and uvc_v4l2_release()
would end up calling this function again, while the workqueue is
already destroyed.

The following diff seems to take care of it:
