Hi Laurent,
Thanks for the comments. Apologies for missing this earlier.

There's indeed no point in locking a mutex in memory that's about to get
released. In fact, the mutex is about to get destroyed first. Other release
callback don't have comments, although the purpose of
__media_device_release wasn't that of an ordinary release callback. Still,
bygones are bygones.

"unregister" pairs with "register" so at least for now I'd prefer to keep
the naming as-is. I'm fine discussing the naming after this set though.

There may be IOCTL calls in progress while unregister takes place. The test
seems to be fine outside the lock but the section below still needs the
lock.
I'll change this for v4.
