[PATCH v5 1/3] media: uvcvideo: Lock video streams and queues while unregistering

From: Ricardo Ribalda

The call to uvc_disconnect() is not protected by any mutex.
This means it can and will be called while other accesses to the video
device are in progress. This can cause all kinds of race conditions,
including crashes such as the following.

usb_set_interface() should not be called after the USB device has been
unregistered. However, in the above case the disconnect happened after
v4l2_ioctl() was called, but before the call to usb_ifnum_to_if().

Acquire various mutexes in uvc_unregister_video() to fix the majority
(maybe all) of the observed race conditions.

The uvc_device lock prevents races against suspend and resume calls
and the poll function.

The uvc_streaming lock prevents races against stream related functions;
for the most part, those are ioctls. This lock also requires other
functions using this lock to check if a video device is still registered
after acquiring it. For example, it was observed that the video device
was already unregistered by the time the stream lock was acquired in
uvc_ioctl_streamon().

The uvc_queue lock prevents races against queue functions, Most of
those are already protected by the uvc_streaming lock, but some
are called directly. This is done as added protection; an actual race
was not (yet) observed.
