Thank you for your comment. I worried about the same thing with you.
But vfh->m2m_ctx on v4l2_ioctl_get_lock() is always null
without CONFIG_V4L2_MEM2MEM_DEV, because m2m_ctx of v4l2-fh
is initialized only in v4l2_mem2mem.c.
Therefore it doesn't have a problem using an wrong lock
regardless of modification, so I did not fix it.
