[media] Revert "[media] videobuf_vm_{open,close} race fixes"
This reverts commit a242f426108c284049a69710f871cc9f11b13e61.
That commit actually caused deadlocks, rather then fixing them.
If ext_lock is set to NULL (otherwise videobuf_queue_lock doesn't do
anything), then you get this deadlock:
The driver's mmap function calls videobuf_mmap_mapper which calls
videobuf_queue_lock on q. videobuf_mmap_mapper calls __videobuf_mmap_mapper,
__videobuf_mmap_mapper calls videobuf_vm_open and videobuf_vm_open
calls videobuf_queue_lock on q (introduced by above patch): deadlocked.
This affects drivers using dma-contig and dma-vmalloc. Only dma-sg is
not affected since it doesn't call videobuf_vm_open from __videobuf_mmap_mapper.
Most drivers these days have a non-NULL ext_lock. Those that still use
NULL there are all fairly obscure drivers, which is why this hasn't been
seen earlier.
Since everything worked perfectly fine for many years I prefer to just
revert this patch rather than trying to fix it. videobuf is quite fragile
and I rather not touch it too much. Work is (slowly) progressing to move
everything over to vb2 or at the very least use non-NULL ext_lock in
videobuf.

[media] videobuf_vm_{open,close} race fixes
just use videobuf_queue_lock(map->q) to protect map->count; vm_area_operations
->open() and ->close() are called just under vma->vm_mm->mmap_sem, which
doesn't help the drivers at all, since clonal VMAs are normally in different
address spaces...

mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter
A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:
| effect | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.
Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

[media] v4l: move v4l2 core into a separate directory
Currently, the v4l2 core is mixed together with other non-core drivers.
Move them into a separate directory.
