Subject: [PATCH v5 2/3] videobuf2: Add min_reqbufs_allocation field to vb2_queue structure

Add 'min_reqbufs_allocation' field in vb2_queue structure so drivers
can specificy the minimum number of buffers to allocate when calling
VIDIOC_REQBUFS.
If used this minimum should be higher than the minimum number of
queued buffers needed to start streaming.

Signed-off-by: Benjamin Gaignard <benjamin.gaignard@...labora.com>

version 5:
- Add WARN_ON() vb2_core_queue_init()
- Check min_reqbufs_allocation value in vb2_core_queue_init()
  so it is at least equal to min_queued_buffers + 1.
- Rework min_reqbufs_allocation documentation.
