[media] media: vb2: fix potential deadlock in mmap vs. get_userptr ha…
…ndling To get direct access to userspace memory pages vb2 allocator needs to gather read access on mmap semaphore in the current process. The same semaphore is taken before calling mmap operation, while both mmap and qbuf are called by the driver or v4l2 core with driver's lock held. To avoid a AB-BA deadlock (mmap_sem then driver's lock in mmap and driver's lock then mmap_sem in qbuf) the videobuf2 core release driver's lock, takes mmap_sem and then takes again driver's lock. get_userptr methods are now called with all needed locks already taken to avoid further lock magic inside memory allocator's code.
