V4L/DVB (7711): pvrusb2: Fix race on module unload
The pvrusb2 driver - for basically forever - was not enforcing a
proper module tear-down. Kernel threads are used inside the driver
and all must be gone before the module can be safely removed. This
changeset reimplements a chunk of pvrusb2-context.c to enforce this
correctly. Unfortunately this is not a simple fix. The new
implementation also cuts back on kernel thread usage; instead of there
being 1 control thread per instance now it's just 1 control thread
shared by all instances. (By dropping to a single thread then the
module exit function can block on its shutdown and the thread itself
can monitor and cleanly shut down all of the other instances first.)
