media_device_unregister() checks if the media device
is registered or not as the first step. However, the
MEDIA_FLAG_REGISTERED bit doesn't get cleared until
the end leaving a large window for two drivers to
attempt media device unregister.
The above leads to general protection faults when
device is removed.
Fix the problem with two phase media device unregister.
Add a new interface media_devnode_start_unregister()
to clear the MEDIA_FLAG_REGISTERED bit. Change
media_device_unregister() call this interface to mark
the start of unregister. This will ensure that media
device unregister is done only once.
