We end up with code like (e.g. in v4l2_fh_release(), with similar
constructs in lots of drivers)
if (fh) {
v4l2_fh_del(filp);
v4l2_fh_exit(fh);
kfree(fh);
}
compared to
if (fh) {
v4l2_fh_del(fh, filp);
v4l2_fh_exit(fh);
kfree(fh);
}
with the existing patch. I find the fact that v4l2_fh_del() takes a
different pointer than v4l2_fh_exit() a bit disturbing. If you think
it's better I'll drop the fh argument in v2.
