Many drivers have to create its own buf_struct for a
vb2_queue to track such a state. Also driver has to
iterate over rdy_queue every times to find out a buffer
which is not sent to hardware(or firmware), this new
list just offers the driver a place to store the buffer
that hardware(firmware) has acknowledged.

One important advance about this list, it doesn't like
rdy_queue which both bottom half of the user calling
could operate it, while the v4l2 worker would as well.
The v4l2 core could only operate this queue when its
v4l2_context is not running, the driver would only
access this new hw_queue in its own worker.
Could you describe in what case such a list would be useful for a
mem2mem driver?

This list, as its description, just for saving us from creating a private buffer struct to track buffer state.

The queue in the kernel is not the queue that hardware(codec firmware) are using.

src and dst would be referenced unitialized below if neither of the
above ifs hits...
I think they have been initialized at v4l2_m2m_ctx_init()
