Replace the old register_chrdev with the more flexible register_chrdev_region.
Ensure that the release() is called when the very last chardev usage was
released, and not when the sysfs devices were removed. This should simplify
hotpluggable drivers considerably.

The driver_data field of the device structure was zeroed, thus losing
this information. Many drivers set this up before calling
video_device_register, so we have to ensure that it isn't lost.

Cleanup v4l2-dev.[ch], add/improve comments and add a new helper
function: video_drvdata() that can get the private driver data from
a file struct.

Now that all drivers set the release callback in the video_device
struct we can put in a BUG_ON in video_register_device to ensure that
the callback is always there.

Add a second release function: video_device_release_empty
It can be used by drivers that have statically allocated
video_device structs.
Its use usually, but not always, indicates laziness on the
part of the driver programmer.

The BKL is now moved from the video_open function in v4l2-dev.c to the
various drivers. It seems about a third of the drivers already has a
lock of some sort protecting the open(), another third uses
video_exclusive_open (yuck!) and the last third required adding the
BKL in their open function.

If a wrong device type is used with video_register_device_index() it should
better return an error number, instead of a constant.

The type and type2 fields were unused and so could be removed.
Instead add a vfl_type field that contains the type of the video
device.

The class_dev field is a normal device, not a class device. This is very
confusing and now that the old 'dev' field has been renamed to 'parent'
we can rename 'class_dev' to just 'dev'.

videodev.c became top-heavy so all the ioctl processing has been split off
into v4l2-ioctl.c. This means videodev.c is back to its original purpose:
creating and registering v4l devices.
Since videodev.c and v4l2-ioctl.c should still remain one module (as least
for now) I also had to rename videodev.c to v4l2-dev.c to prevent a
circular dependency when building a videodev.ko module. This is not a bad
thing, since the source and header now have the same name. And the v4l2-
prefix is useful to see which sources are generic v4l2 support code.
