V4L/DVB (6691): pvrusb2: Rework pipeline state control

This is a new implementation for video pipeline control within the
pvrusb2 driver.  Actual start/stop of the pipeline is moved to the
driver's kernel thread.  Pipeline stages are controlled autonomously
based on surrounding pipeline or application control state.  Kernel
thread management is also cleaned up and moved into the internal
control structure of the driver, solving a set up / tear down race
along the way.  Better failure recovery is implemented with this new
control strategy.  Also with this change comes better control of the
cx23416 encoder, building on additional information learned about the
peculiarities of controlling this part (this information was the
original trigger for this rework).  With this change, overall encoder
stability should be considerably improved.  Yes, this is a large
change for this driver, but due to the nature of the feature being
worked on, the changes are fairly pervasive and would be difficult to
break into smaller pieces with any semblence of step-wise stability.

-
-  This single function is key to pretty much everything.  The pvrusb2
-  device can logically be viewed as a series of subsystems which can be
-  stopped / started or unconfigured / configured.  To get things streaming,
-  one must configure everything and start everything, but there may be
-  various reasons over time to deconfigure something or stop something.
-  This function handles all of this activity.  Everything EVERYWHERE that
-  must affect a subsystem eventually comes here to do the work.
-
-  The current state of all subsystems is represented by a single bit mask,
-  known as subsys_enabled_mask.  The bit positions are defined by the
-  PVR2_SUBSYS_xxxx macros, with one subsystem per bit position.  At any
-  time the set of configured or active subsystems can be queried just by
-  looking at that mask.  To change bits in that mask, this function here
-  must be called.  The "msk" argument indicates which bit positions to
-  change, and the "val" argument defines the new values for the positions
-  defined by "msk".
-
-  There is a priority ordering of starting / stopping things, and for
-  multiple requested changes, this function implements that ordering.
-  (Thus we will act on a request to load encoder firmware before we
-  configure the encoder.)  In addition to priority ordering, there is a
-  recovery strategy implemented here.  If a particular step fails and we
-  detect that failure, this function will clear the affected subsystem bits
-  and restart.  Thus we have a means for recovering from a dead encoder:
-  Clear all bits that correspond to subsystems that we need to restart /
-  reconfigure and start over.
