Subject: drivers/media/dvb/frontends/dib?000*: stack usage problems

The following functions each allocate a > 1.5 kB *_state struct on the 
stack:
- dib7000m_i2c_enumeration()
- dib7000p_i2c_enumeration()
- dib3000mc_i2c_enumeration()

Considering that the whole stack might be only 4 kB, functions shouldn't 
use 1.5 kB of the stack.
