Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] uvcvideo: Attempt N to land UVC race conditions
 fixes

Back in 2020 Guenter published a set of patches to fix some race
conditions on UVC.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20200917022547.198090-5-linux@roeck-us.net/

That kind of race conditions are not only seen on UVC, but are a common
sin on almost all the kernel, so this is what it was decided back then
that we should try to fix them at higher levels.

After that. A lot of video_is_registered() were added to the core:

```
ribalda@...o:~/work/linux$ git grep is_registered drivers/media/v4l2-core/
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c:  if (!video_is_registered(vdev))
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c:     if (video_is_registered(vdev))
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c:     if (video_is_registered(vdev))
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c:     if (video_is_registered(vdev)) {
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c:             if (video_is_registered(vdev))
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c:     if (!video_is_registered(vdev))
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c:     if (video_is_registered(vdev))
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c:     if (vdev == NULL || !video_is_registered(vdev)) {
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c:             if (video_is_registered(vdev))
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c:     if (!vdev || !video_is_registered(vdev))
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:   if (!video_is_registered(vfd)) {
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-subdev.c:  if (video_is_registered(vdev)) {
```

And recently Sakari is trying to land:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20230201214535.347075-1-sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com/

Which will make obsolete a lot of (all?) of the video_is_registered() checks on
Guenter's patches.

Besides those checks, there were some other valid races fixed on his
patches.

This series is just a rebase of what I think is missing on UVC even
if we fixed v4l2/core with all the video_is_register() checks removed.

Thanks!
