Setting sev->fh to NULL causes problems for the del op added in the next
patch of this series, since this op needs a way to get to its own data
structures, and typically this will be done by using container_of on an
embedded v4l2_fh struct.
The reason the original code is setting sev->fh to NULL is to signal
to users of the event framework that the unsubscription has happened,
but since their is no shared lock between the event framework and users
of it, this is inherently racy, and it also turns out to be unnecessary
as long as both the event framework and the user of the framework do their
own locking properly and the user guarantees that it holds no references
to the subcribed_event structure after its del operation has been called.
This is best explained by looking at the only code currently checking for
sev->fh being set to NULL on unsubscribe, which is the v4l2-ctrls.c send_event
function. Here is the relevant code from v4l2-ctrls: send_event():
if (sev->fh && (sev->fh != fh ||
(sev->flags & V4L2_EVENT_SUB_FL_ALLOW_FEEDBACK)))
v4l2_event_queue_fh(sev->fh, &ev);
Now lets say that v4l2_event_unsubscribe and v4l2-ctrls: send_event() race
on the same sev, then the following could happens:
1) send_event checks sev->fh, finds it is not NULL
<thread switch>
2) v4l2_event_unsubscribe sets sev->fh NULL
3) v4l2_event_unsubscribe calls v4l2_ctrls del_event function, this blocks
as the thread calling send_event holds the ctrl_lock
<thread switch>
4) send_event calls v4l2_event_queue_fh(sev->fh, &ev) which not is equivalent
to calling: v4l2_event_queue_fh(NULL, &ev)
5) oops, NULL pointer deref.
Now again without setting sev->fh to NULL in v4l2_event_unsubscribe and
without the (now senseless since always true) sev->fh != NULL check in
1) send_event is about to call v4l2_event_queue_fh(sev->fh, &ev)
<thread switch>
2) v4l2_event_unsubscribe removes sev->list from the fh->subscribed list
<thread switch>
3) send_event calls v4l2_event_queue_fh(sev->fh, &ev)
4) v4l2_event_queue_fh blocks on the fh_lock spinlock
<thread switch>
5) v4l2_event_unsubscribe unlocks the fh_lock spinlock
6) v4l2_event_unsubscribe calls v4l2_ctrls del_event function, this blocks
as the thread calling send_event holds the ctrl_lock
<thread switch>
8) v4l2_event_queue_fh takes the fh_lock
7) v4l2_event_queue_fh calls v4l2_event_subscribed, does not find it since
sev->list has been removed from fh->subscribed already -> does nothing
9) v4l2_event_queue_fh releases the fh_lock
10) the caller of send_event releases the ctrl lock (mutex)
<thread switch>
11) v4l2_ctrls del_event takes the ctrl lock
12) v4l2_ctrls del_event removes sev->node from the ev_subs list
13) v4l2_ctrls del_event releases the ctrl lock
14) v4l2_event_unsubscribe frees the sev, to which no references are being
held anymore

The kev pointers inside the pending events queue (the available queue) of the
fh point to data inside the sev, unsubscribing frees the sev, thus making these
pointers point to freed memory!
This patch fixes these dangling pointers in the available queue by removing
all matching pending events on unsubscription.

When the event queue for a subscribed event is full, then the oldest
event is dropped. It would be nice if the contents of that oldest
event could be merged with the next-oldest. That way no information is
lost, only intermediate steps are lost.
This patch adds optional replace() (called when only one kevent was allocated)
and merge() (called when more than one kevent was allocated) callbacks that
will be called to do this job.
These two callbacks are implemented for the V4L2_EVENT_CTRL event.

just per-fh
The driver had to decide how many events to allocate when the v4l2_fh struct
was created. It was possible to add more events afterwards, but there was no
way to ensure that you wouldn't miss important events if the event queue
would fill up for that filehandle.
In addition, once there were no more free events, any new events were simply
dropped on the floor.
For the control event in particular this made life very difficult since
control status/value changes could just be missed if the number of allocated
events and the speed at which the application read events was too low to keep
up with the number of generated events. The application would have no idea
what the latest state was for a control since it could have missed the latest
control change.
So this patch makes some major changes in how events are allocated. Instead
of allocating events per-filehandle they are now allocated when subscribing an
event. So for that particular event type N events (determined by the driver)
are allocated. Those events are reserved for that particular event type.
This ensures that you will not miss events for a particular type altogether.
In addition, if there are N events in use and a new event is raised, then
the oldest event is dropped and the new one is added. So the latest event
is always available.
This can be further improved by adding the ability to merge the state of
two events together, ensuring that no data is lost at all. This will be
added in the next patch.
This also makes it possible to allow the user to determine the number of
events that will be allocated. This is not implemented at the moment, but
would be trivial.

v4l2_subscribed_event
The v4l2_ctrl_fh struct connected v4l2_ctrl with v4l2_fh so the control
would know which filehandles subscribed to it. However, it is much easier
to use struct v4l2_subscribed_event directly for that and get rid of that
intermediate struct.

Drivers that supported events used to be rare, but now that controls can also
raise events this will become much more common since almost all drivers have
controls.
This means that keeping struct v4l2_events as a separate struct make no more
sense. Merging it into struct v4l2_fh simplifies things substantially as it
is now an integral part of the filehandle struct.

Whenever a control changes value or state an event is sent to anyone
that subscribed to it.
This functionality is useful for control panels but also for applications
that need to wait for (usually status) controls to change value.

Drivers can optionally set a pointer to a mutex in struct video_device.
The core will use that to lock before calling open, read, write, unlocked_ioctl,
poll, mmap or release.
Updated the documentation as well and ensure that v4l2-event knows about the
lock: it will unlock it before doing a blocking wait on an event and relock it
afterwards.
Ensure that the 'video_is_registered' check is done when the lock is held:
a typical disconnect will take the lock as well before unregistering the
device nodes, so to prevent race conditions the video_is_registered check
should also be done with the lock held.

Add event handling backend to V4L2. The backend handles event subscription
and delivery to file handles. Event subscriptions are based on file handle.
Events may be delivered to all subscribed file handles on a device
independent of where they originate from.
