Introduce an helper function to get a video_device_context from
a videobuf2 queue.
Device drivers that support multi-context operations will receive in
their vb2_ops callbacks implementation a vb2_queue argument that is
embedded in a video device context, either a context created by binding
the video device to a media device context or the video device default
context. This helper allows those drivers to retrieve the context
the vb2_queue is embedded with.
As the intended callers of this helpers are vb2_ops callbacks
implementation, called by the videobuf2 core in response to an operation
on a file handle, the returned context is guaranteed to be valid for
the whole duration of the callback.

+ * Device drivers that support multi-context operations will always be provided
