videobuf_qbuf takes q->lock, and then calls
q->ops->buf_prepare which by design in all drivers calls
videobuf_iolock which calls videobuf_dma_init_user and this
takes current->mm->mmap_sem
on the other hand if user calls mumap from other thread, sys_munmap
takes current->mm->mmap_sem and videobuf_vm_close takes q->lock
Since this can occur only for V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP buffers, take
current->mm->mmap_sem in qbuf, before q->lock, and don't take
current->mm->mmap_sem videobuf_dma_init_user for those buffers

video-buf currently does two different tasks:
- Manages video buffers with a common code that allows
implementing all the V4L2 different modes of buffering;
- Controls memory allocations
While the first task is generic, the second were written to support PCI DMA
Scatter/Gather needs. The original approach can't even work for those
video capture hardware that don't support scatter/gather.
I did one approach to make it more generic. While the approach worked
fine for vivi driver, it were not generic enough to handle USB needs.
This patch creates two different modules, one containing the generic
video buffer handling (videobuf-core) and another with PCI DMA S/G.
After this patch, it would be simpler to write an USB video-buf and a
non-SG DMA module.
