Subject: [PATCH] media: uvcvideo: Drop stream->mutex

Since commit c93d73c9c2cf ("media: uvcvideo: Use vb2 ioctl and fop
helpers"), the IOCTLs are serialized. Due to this there is no more need
to protect ctrl, cur_format or cur_frame from concurrent access.

Drop stream->mutex after thanking it for years of good service.

Use this opportunity to do fix some CodeStyle.
