Max Kellermann f17c403af9 media: dvbdev: add a mutex protecting the "mdev" pointer
During destruction, a race condition in
dvb_media_controller_disable_source() can cause a kernel crash,
because the "mdev" pointer has been read successfully while another
task executes dvb_usb_media_device_unregister(), which destroys the
object.  Example for such a crash:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
