We're trying to make sure that no one is writing to the btv->init struct
while we copy it over to the newly allocated "fh" struct. The original
code doesn't make sense because "fh->cap.vb_lock" hasn't been
initialized and no one else can be writing to it anyway.
This patch also crashes the system. Unfortunately machine hangs, so I
can not copy-paste trace. It was something about nosemaphore called from
bttv_open. (something like previous reports)
I replace lock with btv->lock:
mutex_lock(&btv->lock);
*fh = btv->init;
mutex_unlock(&btv->lock);
Probably it is overkill and may be incorrect, but it starts working.
Also I found another issue: tvtime hangs on exit in D-state, so it looks
like there is a problem near bttv_release function or something like this.
