Hans Verkuil 73a110623e media: v4l2-core: push taking ioctl mutex down to ioctl handler
The ioctl serialization mutex (vdev->lock or q->lock for vb2 queues)
was taken at the highest level in v4l2-dev.c. This prevents more
fine-grained locking since at that level we cannot examine the ioctl
arguments, we can only do that after video_usercopy is called.

So push the locking down to __video_do_ioctl() and subdev_do_ioctl_lock().

This also allows us to make a few functions in v4l2-ioctl.c static and
video_usercopy() is no longer exported.

The locking scheme is not changed by this patch, just pushed down.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
