I hate to say this, but it is still not right. This is the correct code:

static long v4l2_ioctl(struct file *filp, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)
{
        struct video_device *vdev = video_devdata(filp);
        int ret = -ENODEV;

        if (vdev->fops->unlocked_ioctl) {
                if (vdev->lock)
                        mutex_lock(vdev->lock);
                if (video_is_registered(vdev))
                        ret = vdev->fops->unlocked_ioctl(filp, cmd, arg);
                if (vdev->lock)
                        mutex_unlock(vdev->lock);
        } else if (vdev->fops->ioctl) {
                /* TODO: convert all drivers to unlocked_ioctl */
                lock_kernel();
                if (video_is_registered(vdev))
                        ret = vdev->fops->ioctl(filp, cmd, arg);
                unlock_kernel();
        } else
                ret = -ENOTTY;

        return ret;
}

As you can see, the video_is_registered is called with the lock held.
