Newer high definition cameras, and cameras with multiple lenses such as
the range of stereo-vision cameras now available have ever increasing
data rates.
The inclusion of a variable length packet header in URB packets mean
that we must memcpy the frame data out to our destination 'manually'.
This can result in data rates of up to 2 gigabits per second being
processed.
To improve efficiency, and maximise throughput, handle the URB decode
processing through a work queue to move it from interrupt context, and
allow multiple processors to work on URBs in parallel.

v2:
- Lock full critical section of usb_submit_urb()
v3:
- Fix race on submitting uvc_video_decode_data_work() to work queue.
- Rename uvc_decode_op -> uvc_copy_op (Generic to encode/decode)
- Rename decodes -> copy_operations
- Don't queue work if there is no async task
- obtain copy op structure directly in uvc_video_decode_data()
- uvc_video_decode_data_work() -> uvc_video_copy_data_work()
v4:
- Provide for_each_uvc_urb()
- Simplify fix for shutdown race to flush queue before freeing URBs
- Rebase to v4.16-rc4 (linux-media/master) adjusting for metadata
conflicts.
v5:
- Rebase to media/v4.20-2
- Use GFP_KERNEL allocation in uvc_video_copy_data_work()
- Fix function documentation for uvc_video_copy_data_work()
- Add periods to the end of sentences
- Rename 'decode' variable to 'op' in uvc_video_decode_data()
- Move uvc_urb->async_operations initialisation to before use
- Move async workqueue to match uvc_streaming lifetime instead of
streamon/streamoff
v6:
- Utilise the new streaming object lifetime functions to perform
allocation and destruction of the async workqueue.
