This doesn't seem to be the right thing to do. The problem here is that
changing a video standard takes a long time to happen. As calling an
ioctl is protected by KBL, QBUF/DQBUF won't be called, so, the driver
will run out of the buffers, and *buf will become null. This can eventually
happen during copy_streams().

tm6000: Fix a panic if buffer become NULL

Changing a video standard takes a long time to happen on tm6000, since it
needs to load another firmware, and the i2c implementation on this device
is really slow. As calling an ioctl is protected by KBL, QBUF/DQBUF won't 
be called, so, the driver will run out of the buffers, and *buf will become 
NULL. This can eventually happen during copy_streams(). The fix is to leave
the URB copy loop, if there's no more buffers available.
