This function allows to remove all media entity's links to other
entities, leaving no references to a media entity's links array
at its remote entities.
Currently, when a driver of some entity is removed it will free its
media entities links[] array, leaving dangling pointers at other
entities that are part of same media graph. This is troublesome when
drivers of a media device entities are in separate kernel modules,
removing only some modules will leave others in an incorrect state.
This function is intended to be used when an entity is being
unregistered from a media device.
With an assumption that normally the media links should be created
between media entities registered to a media device and with the
graph mutex held.

Changes since v1:
- couple code improvements like variable localization, type change, etc.
- removed WARN_ON_ONCE() to avoid warnings when the media_entity_remove_links()
function is called from within remove() callback of a driver of subdev
which has not yet been registered to the media device, e.g. due to
deferred probing, with a call stack like
-> remove()
-> v4l2_device_unregister_subdev()
-> media_entity_remove_links()
