Fixes a race condition - for lack of a more precise term - between
em28xx_v4l2_open and em28xx_v4l2_init, by managing the em28xx_v4l2
and v4l2_dev life-time with the v4l2_dev->release() callback.

The race happens when a thread[1] - containing the em28xx_v4l2_init()
code - calls the v4l2_mc_create_media_graph(), and it return a error,
if a thread[2] - running v4l2_open() - pass the verification point
and reaches the em28xx_v4l2_open() before the thread[1] finishes
the deregistration of v4l2 subsystem, the thread[1] will free all
resources before the em28xx_v4l2_open() can process their things,
because the em28xx_v4l2_init() has the dev->lock. And all this lead
the thread[2] to cause a user-after-free.

V2: Add v4l2_i2c_new_subdev null check
Deal with v4l2 subdevs dependencies

V3: Fix link error when compiled as a module

V4: Remove duplicated v4l2_device_disconnect
in the em28xx_v4l2_fini

V5: Move all the v4l2 resources management
to the v4l2_dev->release() callback.

V6: Address some Hans comments regarding
video_unregister_device and struct v4l2_device
inside the struct v4l2_device.

I'm sending this v6 that way but I'm totally open
to the Hilt approach, if it is a more desirable
way to fix this issue.

This should not be needed: once the video devices are unregistered, it is no longer
possible to open the video device. So this can't happen.
If a thread[1] with the `open` syscall pass verification point at v4l2_open() before the deregistration in the `em28xx_v4l2_fini`.

And If for some reason (e.g page fault) the thread[1] get stuck and can't get the `dev->lock` before the thread[2](which is in `em28xx_v4l2_dev_release`).*

The thread[1] will end up accessing freed resources.
