This sequence isn't fool proof. You have to follow the same sequence as
vb2_video_unregister_device(): take a reference to the video device,
then unregister, then take the stream mutex and call vb2_queue_release
for each queue. Finally unlock the mutex and call put_device.

Doing the video_unregister_device first ensures no new ioctls can be
called on that device node. Taking the mutex ensures that any still
running ioctls will finish (since it will sleep until they release the
mutex), and then you can release the queue.

This does require that you call get_device before calling video_unregister_device,
otherwise everything might be released at that point.

Instead of vb2_queue_release() you might have to call uvc_queue_streamoff,
but note that there are two queues here: video and meta. The code above
just calls streamoff for the video device.

For the meta device I think you can just use vb2_video_unregister_device()
directly, since that sets vdev->queue and vdev->queue.lock to the correct
values. That would just leave the video device where you need to do this
manually.
