Subject: [PATCH 3.16 323/366] media: v4l: event: Prevent freeing event
 subscriptions while accessed

3.16.61-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@...ux.intel.com>

commit ad608fbcf166fec809e402d548761768f602702c upstream.

The event subscriptions are added to the subscribed event list while
holding a spinlock, but that lock is subsequently released while still
accessing the subscription object. This makes it possible to unsubscribe
the event --- and freeing the subscription object's memory --- while
the subscription object is simultaneously accessed.

Prevent this by adding a mutex to serialise the event subscription and
unsubscription. This also gives a guarantee to the callback ops that the
add op has returned before the del op is called.

This change also results in making the elems field less special:
subscriptions are only added to the event list once they are fully
initialised.
