Hi Hans,
At first glance this looks fine. But making changes in videobuf is always scary :-)
so I hope Marek can look at this as well.
How well was this tested?
I ran some tests on bttv which all ran well.
Note that the code already allowed for going from say 4 buffers to 1,
and the old code path for reqbufs was already calling __videobuf_free()
before re-allocating the buffers again. So in essence this just changes
things to allow the 4 buffers to 1 case to also be 4 buffers to 0.
The patch looks fine and the explanation is also convincing, so it
turned out
that this long standing issue can be fixed quite easily, however I don't
have
any hardware to do the tests right now.

All the infrastructure for this is already there, and despite our desires for
the old videobuf code to go away, it is currently still in use in 18 drivers.
Allowing reqbufs(0) makes these drivers behave consistent with modern drivers,
making live easier for userspace, see e.g. :
