Subject: [PATCH 7/6] media: videobuf2-dma-sg: call find_vma with the
 mmap_sem held

Performing vma lookups without taking the mm->mmap_sem is asking
for trouble. While doing the search, the vma in question can
be modified or even removed before returning to the caller.
Take the lock in order to avoid races while iterating through
the vmacache and/or rbtree.

Also do some very minor cleanup changes.

This patch is only compile tested.

It would seem this is the last offending user. 
v4l2 is a maze but I believe that this is needed as I don't
see the mmap_sem being taken by any callers of vb2_dma_sg_get_userptr().
