[PATCH] V4L: dynamically allocate video_device nodes in subdevices

[Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@xxxxxx>]

Currently only very few drivers actually use video_device nodes, embedded
in struct v4l2_subdev. Allocate these nodes dynamically for those drivers
to save memory for the rest.

Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@xxxxxx>

Only compile tested. Please, give it a spin on affected hardware.
