If userspace can't feed the driver with buffers as fast as the driver
consumes them the driver will stop video capturing and wait for more
buffers from userspace, the driver is stalled. Once it have been feed
one or more free buffers it will recover from the stall and resume
capturing.
Instead of continue to capture using the same capture mode as before the
stall allow the driver to choose between single and continuous mode
based on free buffer availability. Do this by stopping capturing when
the driver becomes stalled and restart capturing once it continues. By
doing
this the capture mode will be evaluated each time the driver is
recovering from a stall.
This behavior is needed to fix a bug where continuous capturing mode is
used, userspace is about to stop the stream and is waiting for the last
buffers to be returned from the driver and is not queuing any new
buffers. In this case the driver becomes stalled when there are only 3
buffers remaining streaming will never resume since the driver is
waiting for userspace to feed it more buffers before it can continue
streaming. With this fix the driver will then switch to single capture
mode for the last 3 buffers and a deadlock is avoided. The issue can be
demonstrated using yavta.

<blocks forever, waiting for the last buffer>
This fix also allow the driver to switch to single capture mode if
userspace doesn't feed it buffers fast enough. Or the other way around,
if userspace suddenly feeds the driver buffers faster it can switch to
continues capturing mode.
