More info... 

The Oops seems to be caused by a size mismatch that causes memset to write 
over other variables in the stack... The following debug hack moved oops to 
another point in the v4l1-compact code..

So memset(&tun2,0,sizeof(tun2))  seems to be overwriting btv->lock->wait_list:

The new oops, where there's another memset(&tun2,0,sizeof(tun2)):
