When using the request API in the context of a m2m driver, the
operations that come with a m2m run scheduling call in their
(m2m-specific) ioctl handler are delayed until the request is queued
(for instance, this includes queuing buffers and streamon).
Thus, the m2m run scheduling calls are not called in due time since the
request AP's internal plumbing will (rightfully) use the relevant core
functions directly instead of the ioctl handler.
This ends up in a situation where nothing happens if there is no
run-scheduling ioctl called after queuing the request.
In order to circumvent the issue, a new media operation is introduced,
called at the time of handling the media request queue ioctl. It gives
m2m drivers a chance to schedule a m2m device run at that time.
The existing req_queue operation cannot be used for this purpose, since
it is called with the request queue mutex held, that is eventually needed
in the device_run call to apply relevant controls.
