V4L/DVB (6268): V4L: Fix a lock inversion in generic videobuf code
videobuf_qbuf takes q->lock, and then calls
q->ops->buf_prepare which by design in all drivers calls
videobuf_iolock which calls videobuf_dma_init_user and this
takes current->mm->mmap_sem
on the other hand if user calls mumap from other thread, sys_munmap
takes current->mm->mmap_sem and videobuf_vm_close takes q->lock
Since this can occur only for V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP buffers, take
current->mm->mmap_sem in qbuf, before q->lock, and don't take
current->mm->mmap_sem videobuf_dma_init_user for those buffers
