vb2_queue_release() will run when the userspace releases the file
handle that owns the vb2 queue [1], so we shouldn't really need to
call it here.

Actually isn't the only missing thing in the code basically ensuring
that any ioctl currently being executed finishes? Why is the streamoff
or queue release needed?
