There's a race condition between the list_del_init in the v4l2_ctrl_request_complete, and the list_add_tail in the v4l2_ctrl_request_queue, since they can be called in different thread and the requests_queued list is not protected by a lock. This can lead to that the v4l2_ctrl_handler is still in the requests_queued list while the request_is_queued is already set to false, which would cause use-after-free if the v4l2_ctrl_handler is later released. Fix this by locking the ->lock of main_hdl (which is the owner of the requests_queued list) when doing list operations on the ->requests_queued list.
