IMO, there is a minor fault in the error handling path of
uvc_status_start() inside uvc_v4l2_open(), and the 'users' count
should have been decreased before usb_autopm_put_interface().
In theory, the warning can be triggered when the device is
opened just between usb_autopm_put_interface() and
atomic_dec(&stream->dev->users), but I don't think it is
the cause of the report.

It might be useful to post the relevant 'dmesg' and the usbmon together.
