Add a new flag to 'struct v4l2_m2m_ctx' to toggle whether a CAPTURE queue
must be streaming in order to allow queuing OUTPUT jobs to the ready
queue. Currently, both queues (CAPTURE & OUTPUT) must be streaming in
order to add new jobs. This prevents firmware from analyzing the bitstream
header which arrives on the OUTPUT queue and performing an analysis of the
sequence to ensure that userspace prepares the CAPTURE queue correctly.
