The BKL conversion of this driver seems to have gone wrong. Opening
cx88-blackbird will deadlock. Various other uses of the sub-device
and driver lists appear to be subject to race conditions.
For example: various functions access drvlist without a relevant lock
held, which will race against removal of drivers. Let's start with
that --- clean up by consistently protecting dev->drvlist with
dev->core->lock, noting driver functions that require the device lock
to be held or not to be held.
There are still some races --- e.g., cx8802_blackbird_remove can run
between the time the blackbird driver is acquired and the time it is
used in mpeg_release, and there's a similar race in cx88_dvb_bus_ctrl.
The only goal is to make the semantics clearer in preparation for more
changes. Later patches will address the remaining known races and the
deadlock noticed by Andi.
Based on a patch by Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.
