uvc_unregister_video() can be called asynchronously from
uvc_disconnect(). If the device is still streaming when that happens, a
plethora of race conditions can occur.

Make sure that the device has stopped streaming before exiting this
function.

If the user still holds handles to the driver's file descriptors, any
ioctl will return -ENODEV from the v4l2 core.

This change makes uvc more consistent with the rest of the v4l2 drivers
using the vb2_fop_* and vb2_ioctl_* helpers.

Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for the patch.

As I've said many times before, this issue needs a fix in the V4L2 core,
ideally with support in the cdev core. It seems I'll have to do it
myself ?

 vb2_video_unregister_device() already patched this issue. We are just
porting that solution to UVC, because uvc is not using the vb2
helpers.
I don't see why being more consistent with the rest of the v4l2 driver
makes it a bad thing.

I am reverting the ChromeOS solution for this race condition and
applying this patch instead:
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/5632459/1
That is going to test this patch in some million devices in some days.

This change is self-contained, fixes a real problem, makes the driver
consistent and will be tested by lots of users. We could land this
patch and help our users until there is a solution in cdev.
I would argue that even with a solution in cdev this is not a bad patch.

I can help reviewing and testing ;)

Regards!
