Subject: [PATCH 1/1] DVB: fix dvr node refcounting

In dvb_dvr_release, there is a test dvbdev->users==-1, but users are
never negative. This error results in hung tasks:
  task                        PC stack   pid father
bash          D ffffffffa000c948     0  3264   3170 0x00000000

Call Trace:

...

So check against 1 there instead.

BTW why's the TODO there? Adding TODOs to the code without
descriptions is like adding nothing.
