Hans Verkuil 9739768788 V4L/DVB: videobuf: prepare to make locking optional in videobuf
Currently videobuf uses the vb_lock mutex to lock its data structures.
But this locking will (optionally) move into the v4l2 core, which means
that in that case vb_lock shouldn't be used since the external lock is already
held.

Prepare for this by adding a pointer to such an external mutex and
don't lock if that pointer is set.

Pawel Osciak 7f98639def V4L/DVB: add memory-to-memory device helper framework for videobuf
A mem-to-mem device is a device that uses memory buffers passed by
userspace applications for both their source and destination data. This
is different from existing drivers, which utilize memory buffers for either
input or output, but not both.

In terms of V4L2 such a device would be both of OUTPUT and CAPTURE type.

Examples of such devices would be: image 'resizers', 'rotators',
'colorspace converters', etc.

This patch adds a separate Kconfig sub-menu for mem-to-mem devices as well.
