Add Media Device Allocator API to manage Media Device life time problems.
There are known problems with media device life time management. When media
device is released while an media ioctl is in progress, ioctls fail with
use-after-free errors and kernel hangs in some cases.
Media Allocator API provides interfaces to allocate a refcounted media
device from system wide global list and maintains the state until the
last user of the media device releases it.
