Subject: [PATCH] media: au0828 fix au0828_v4l2_close() dev_state race condition

au0828_v4l2_close() check for dev_state == DEV_DISCONNECTED will fail to
detect the device disconnected state correctly, if au0828_v4l2_open() runs
to set the DEV_INITIALIZED bit. A loop test of bind/unbind found this bug
by increasing the likelihood of au0828_v4l2_open() occurring while unbind
is in progress. When au0828_v4l2_close() fails to detect that the device
is in disconnect state, it attempts to power down the device and fails with
the following general protection fault:
