V4L/DVB (5400): Core: fix several locking related problems
Fix several instances of dvb-core functions using mutex_lock_interruptible and returning -ERESTARTSYS where the calling function will either never retry or never check the return value. These cause a race condition with dvb_dmxdev_filter_free and dvb_dvr_release, both of which are filesystem release functions whose return value is ignored and will never be retried. When this happens it becomes impossible to open dvr0 again (-EBUSY) since it has not been released properly.
